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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 26,043 miles. The mileage trajectory is also highly suspicious, indicating potential odometer fraud.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Sep 2019 (560 mi/yr equivalent), followed by normal usage, but this initial anomaly is a significant red flag for odometer integrity.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS suspension defect recorded on 2015-03-12 (corrosion to shock absorber casing).
  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., 2015-03-12, 2025-08-15).
  • Multiple tyre-related failures and advisories (e.g., 2020-09, 2021-09, 2025-08).
  • Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Sep 2019 (560 mi/yr equivalent).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-15, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2015-03-12 test.
  • Consistent annual mileage post-2019, averaging 6,139 miles/year.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety.
