This 2011 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 24,929 miles. The complete absence of MOT records for 15 years is a major red flag for a 15-year-old vehicle.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 3,601 miles per year, with a significant 15-year gap in MOT history and a recent MOT pass in Sep 2025 after a 15-year absence.
Things to check
- Complete absence of MOT history for 15 years (Jan 2011 to Dec 2018) — a critical safety and legality concern.
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 52,862 miles over 15 years, indicating potential odometer fraud.
- Two major suspension failures (coil springs) in Dec 2021 and Dec 2025, suggesting ongoing structural neglect.
- Recent Sep 2025 MOT pass after 15-year gap, raising questions about vehicle's true history and maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Current valid MOT until 2026-09-01, indicating it is roadworthy now.
- No recurring major failures on the same system after the initial suspension issues.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
