AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 25,950 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring exhaust and tyre advisories, coupled with a recent engine management light failure, warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 25,950 miles over 13 years, averaging 6,296 miles per year, which is below the UK average of 8,000.
Things to check
- Recurring exhaust advisories (Mar 2022) escalated to major failure (Mar 2023), indicating a persistent issue.
- Multiple tyre advisories (Mar 2023, Aug 2025) suggest a history of poor maintenance or alignment issues.
- Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (Aug 2025) is a recent failure that needs verification.
- The 2013 Vauxhall is a diesel, which is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 08/31/2026, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age, indicating light and steady usage.
- No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
