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 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 21,977 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring advisories across critical systems, including brakes, tyres, and engine oil, indicates a high-maintenance vehicle.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 6,963 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, though annual usage significantly dropped from 2019 to 2023.
Things to check
- Recurring advisories on brakes (5 tests), tyres (4 tests), and engine oil (4 tests) across multiple years.
- Major failures for steering (2 times), emissions (1 time), and lights (1 time) in 2020, 2024, and 2025.
- Exhaust carbon monoxide content exceeded limits in 2017, 2019, and 2025, a recurring emissions issue.
- Coolant and engine oil advisories are recurring, suggesting a pattern of neglect in fluid maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-26, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
