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 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 14,128 miles. The vehicle's low mileage and consistent MOT validity mask a clear pattern of neglect and recurring safety issues.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,017 miles per year, with a significant 14-month gap in 2020-2021 where only 77 miles were recorded.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Nov 2025): Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm 225-45-17 (5.2.3 (e)
  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in 4 separate tests (Jul 2019, Jul 2020, Oct 2024) — immediate safety risk.
  • Recurring major failures in critical safety systems: brakes (3 failures), suspension (2 failures), and emissions (2 failures).
  • Major exhaust leak failure in Oct 2024, a recurring issue since 2019.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
