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

This 2011 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 22,406 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect in critical safety systems warrants significant caution.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with low annual usage, averaging 6,107 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant jump of 13,949 miles in the last 12 months.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2022-05-20 (test 2022-05-20) — immediate safety concern.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Aug 2018) escalated to dangerous failure (May 2022).
  • Recurring tyre damage advisories (Aug 2018, May 2022) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Recurring shock absorber leak advisories (Aug 2018, May 2022) suggest ongoing suspension issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,107 miles/year, indicating light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering throughout its history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
