This 2016 Vauxhall has 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 37,236 miles. The extremely low mileage recorded in recent years is also a significant red flag.
The vehicle shows extremely low recent mileage, averaging only 779 miles/year between 2023 and 2025, which is highly unusual for a 2016 diesel.
Things to check

Working in its favour

- Valid MOT until 2026-09-04, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No DANGEROUS defects remain unresolved since the 2019-05-16 failure.
- Consistent annual mileage (7,787 mi/yr) before the recent low usage.
