AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2011 Vauxhall has 20 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 33,327 miles. While mileage is consistent, the sheer number of past failures and ongoing issues demands a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,915 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though it's significantly higher than the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures: Headlamps (4 tests), Windscreen (4 tests), Tyres (4 tests) show persistent neglect.
  • Engine oil advisory recurring across 5 tests (2014, 2016, 2019, 2020, 2025) indicates chronic neglect.
  • CV boot advisory recurring in 2016 and 2025 tests points to an unresolved issue.
  • First MOT in 2014 at 33,327 miles is unusually late for a 2011 vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-31 provides immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No DANGEROUS defects remain unresolved from the latest MOT test.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
