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 19 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 23,602 miles. While mileage is low, the repeated brake issues suggest a need for thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage (4,190 miles/yr), but a significant 90-mile mileage discrepancy occurred on 01 Sep 2021 between a failed and passed MOT.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 01 Sep 2021 (44,321 mi) — severe safety concern.
  • Recurring brake advisories (Aug 2020) escalated to dangerous failures (Sep 2021).
  • Nearside Front Shock absorbers had a serious fluid leak (Aug 2021).
  • Unusually large mileage difference (90 mi) on 01 Sep 2021 between retest pair.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-09-06, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering, despite the 2021 anomaly.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (4,190 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
