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 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 18,657 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2026-01-01, which is highly irregular.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 18,657 miles in 13 years (Jan 2013 to Jan 2016), followed by only 23,785 miles in the subsequent 9 years (Jan 2016 to Jan 2025). This pattern is highly suspicious and suggests potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 41,442 miles over 13 years (Jan 2013 to Jan 2025).
  • Dangerous tyre defect recorded on 2019-01-31 (test failed).
  • Recurring major failures: coil spring (2022-11-01), headlamp (2020-02-01), exhaust (2020-02-01).
  • MOT status 'Not valid' with expiry 2026-01-01 — highly irregular for a 2013 vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates good structural safety.
  • Consistent annual mileage for the first 3 years (Jan 2013 to Jan 2016).
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
