This 2013 Vauxhall has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 26,818 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect in critical safety systems warrants a thorough inspection.
Mileage is consistent, averaging 8,912 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though a 2-year gap (2020-2021) saw only 2,695 miles driven.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2023-07-25 (test 107, 94,164 mi) — critical safety defect.

- Recurring lighting failures and advisories (e.g., Jun 2022, Jul 2023, Oct 2025).
- Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (1.0.0 (e)) — major failure on 2023-07-25 (test 107).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-16, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,912 miles/year.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage drops.
