This 2016 Vauxhall has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 34,168 miles. The pattern of escalating failures, particularly with tyres and suspension, points to a vehicle with chronic neglect.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,225 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2025): Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres worn close to legal limit on 2019-10-22, escalating to failure on 2025-10-31.
  • Recurring Brakes: 21 advisories across 6 tests (2019-2022) for worn discs and pitting.
  • Recurring Suspension: 6 advisories across 6 tests (2019-2022) for shock absorber misting and limited damping.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage: 34,168 miles in Oct 2019, then 80,907 miles in Oct 2025, averaging 8,225 miles/year.
  • Valid MOT: Current MOT valid until 31 October 2026, indicating recent roadworthiness checks.
  • No major structural failures: No recurring failures on critical systems like brakes or steering.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud: Mileage readings are consistent and show no suspicious drops or spikes.
