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

This 2013 Vauxhall has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 22,704 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring brake and suspension advisories, including a major failure, indicates ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,889 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 62,366 miles recorded over 13 years.

Things to check

  • Major failure for Nearside Front Shock absorbers on 2016-07-29, followed by repeated advisories.
  • Major failure for Offside Front Lower Coil spring on 2016-07-29, with a related advisory.
  • Persistent brake advisories from 2016-07-29 onwards, indicating a long-standing wear item.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across multiple tests, suggesting a history of poor maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until October 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Consistent low mileage for its age, suggesting light use and less wear.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
  • Single major failure in 13 years, with immediate retest and subsequent passes.
