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

This 2018 Vauxhall has 8 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 24,494 miles. The mileage is low, but the repeated failures and advisories for brakes, tyres, and engine oil point to systemic neglect.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 6,505 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but this is offset by the numerous MOT failures and advisories.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2025): Nearside Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-10-17 (test 8) — immediate safety risk.
  • Recurring brake disc wear advisory on 2021-04-21 and 2023-10-18.
  • Recurring tyre damage advisories on 2023-10-18 and 2025-10-17.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-10-17, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,505 mi/yr) suggests light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
  • No recurring major structural failures (e.g., suspension, steering).
