AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2011 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 87% pass rate and 35,237 miles. While recent tests have passed, the sheer volume of advisories and past failures indicates significant and ongoing maintenance needs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 9,262 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but annual usage has significantly decreased since 2021.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across 5+ years (2015, 2020, 2024) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Multiple suspension failures and advisories (2015, 2020, 2024) point to chronic structural wear.
  • Corrosion on brake pipes (2022, 2024) and subframe (2025) is a serious safety concern.
  • The 15-year-old vehicle has accumulated significant wear despite normal mileage.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until September 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • Recent MOT passes (2024, 2025) confirm current roadworthiness.
