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 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 55,751 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2026-04-10, which is highly irregular and a significant red flag.

The mileage trajectory shows a suspiciously low average of 537 miles/year before Jan 2020, followed by normal usage, but the 2019 MOT gap is a major concern.

Things to check

  • MOT not valid as of 2026-03-31, with expiry 2026-04-10 (highly irregular for a 2011 car).
  • Recurring major failures: Emissions (3 times), Windscreen (2 times), Brakes (2 times), Lights (1 time).
  • Recurring advisories: Tyres (8 times), Exhaust (2 times), Shock absorber (2 times), Seatbelt (2 times).
  • Major failure for Nearside Front Shock absorbers on 2015-11-25 and 2015-11-25, indicating a serious structural issue.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
