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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 30,984 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring major failures and advisories across critical safety systems like brakes, suspension, and exhaust requires careful consideration.

The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,005 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in brakes (Apr 2024) and suspension (Mar 2021) indicate structural neglect.
  • Exhaust system advisories present in 5 separate tests (Mar 2022, Mar 2024, Apr 2025, Apr 2026) suggest chronic corrosion.
  • Offside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (Mar 2022) and shock absorber wear (Mar 2021) point to suspension weakness.
  • Nearside Front Brake disc significantly and obviously worn (Mar 2022) escalated to major failure (Mar 2024).

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until April 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,005 miles/year) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation detected in the MOT history.
