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 24,226 miles. The most critical issue is a persistent, escalating pattern of suspension and brake failures, including a dangerous tyre defect in 2019.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 24,226 miles over 13 years, with a significant anomaly of only 97 miles recorded between Jan 2013 and Feb 2024.
Things to check
- Persistent and escalating suspension failures (Jun 2019, Dec 2022, Dec 2023).
- Recurring brake system failures (Jun 2019, Dec 2023).
- Dangerous tyre defect (cut to ply) in Jun 2019.
- Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Feb 2024 (97 mi/yr).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until January 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety.
- Consistent annual mileage post-2024, averaging 6,295 miles/year.
