This 2011 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 66,554 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of recurring wear items and high annual usage warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 13,713 miles per year, with a notable spike of 15,625 miles in the last 12 months (Oct 2024 to Nov 2025).
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Nov 2025): Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage likely to fail (5.3.3 (b) (ii))
- High mileage (204,464 miles) for a 2011 vehicle, indicating significant wear and tear.
- Recurring suspension failures (coil spring, shock absorber) and lighting advisories across multiple tests.
- Recent advisories on the exhaust and coil spring (Nov 2025) suggest immediate repair needs.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until November 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage readings.
- All past failures were promptly rectified, demonstrating responsible ownership.
