AI verdict AVOID 30/100
AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Vauxhall has 19 MOT tests on record with a 63% pass rate and 41,878 miles. The recurring major failures and advisories on critical safety systems like brakes and suspension, combined with the vehicle's age and tax status, make this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 121 miles recorded before Jan 2024, which is implausibly low for a 2009 diesel and suggests a potential odometer fraud or data error.
Things to check
- MOT not valid as of 2025-01-23, indicating no current roadworthiness.
- Mileage anomaly: 121 miles recorded before Jan 2024 for a 2009 diesel is highly suspicious.
- Recurring major failures: Brakes (7 failures), Lights (2 failures), Suspension (2 failures).
- Recurring advisories: Tyres (8 advisories), Shock Absorber (3 advisories), Coil Spring (3 advisories).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates strong safety features for its era.
- Consistent annual mileage (pre-2024): 9,421 miles/year, slightly above UK average.
- No recent MOT failures (Jan 2024 retest PASS): immediate safety concerns appear resolved.
- No outstanding recalls: No specific MOT evidence of outstanding factory recalls.
