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 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 20,915 miles. While these were addressed, the consistent wear on critical safety components suggests a need for thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,758 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, indicating periods of minimal driving.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension advisories across 9 tests (e.g., Nov 2022, Dec 2024) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Recurring brake advisories across 8 tests (e.g., Nov 2023, Dec 2024) suggest a history of maintenance needs.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 7 tests (e.g., Nov 2022, Dec 2024) point to a pattern of component replacement.
  • Major failure for Nearside Front Sub-frame insecurity (Sep 2017) is a significant structural concern.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-05, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,758 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded in the last 2 years of MOTs.
  • All past failures and advisories were promptly addressed and retested successfully.
