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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 24,191 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect in critical safety systems demands thorough investigation.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,313 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 263-mile retest in May 2024 is unusual.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre failure on 2025-06-13 (Jul 2025 PASS) after 2 years of advisories.
  • Dangerous brake failure on 2025-06-13 (Jul 2025 PASS) with recurring advisories.
  • Recurring major suspension failures (coil springs, exhaust) across multiple tests.
  • Recurring major lighting failures (direction indicators) across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-07-01, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
