This 2011 Vauxhall has 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 17,015 miles. The mileage is extremely low for its age, raising significant ownership and maintenance concerns.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 4,101 miles per year, averaging 17,015 miles over 15 years, which is a major red flag for a 2011 car.

Things to check

  • MOT HISTORY: 5 failures and 9 advisories across 13 tests, including dangerous brake and tyre defects.
  • MILEAGE: Only 17,015 miles recorded over 15 years, indicating extremely low usage and potential neglect.
  • SERVICE GAPS: A 4-year MOT gap (2020) suggests periods of non-use or unrecorded history.
  • RECURRING ISSUES: Tyre and subframe corrosion advisories appear repeatedly, indicating chronic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • MOT VALID: The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until March 2027.
  • Euro NCAP: 5-star safety rating for this 2017 model, indicating good structural integrity.
