AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Vauxhall has 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 30,206 miles. However, a clear pattern of recurring brake and suspension issues, including a fractured coil spring, raises significant concerns about its long-term reliability and maintenance.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 30,206 miles over 10 years, averaging 6,336 miles per year, which is below the UK average of 8,000.
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories (Jan 2019, Jan 2020) and a major failure (Jan 2020) indicate chronic brake wear.
- Recurring handbrake advisories (Jan 2020, Jan 2021) suggest a persistent rear brake adjustment issue.
- Offside Front Coil spring fractured (Jan 2020) and Offside Rear Coil spring fractured (Jan 2020) point to suspension neglect.
- Nearside Front Outer Brake disc significantly worn (Jan 2020) is a major failure for critical safety components.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-10 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,336 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
- All major failures were promptly rectified and passed retests, showing owner responsiveness.
