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 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 23,200 miles. The recent low annual mileage and multiple failures in critical safety systems warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,519 miles per year, with a significant drop to 2,193 miles per year in the last two years, which is a red flag for potential neglect.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc wear advisories (May 2023, Mar 2025) indicate a long-term issue.
  • Recurring shock absorber oil mist advisories (Jan 2016, Jan 2015) suggest ongoing suspension wear.
  • Multiple tyre failures (May 2019, May 2021) and headlamp failures (Jan 2015) point to reactive maintenance.
  • The recent low annual mileage (2,193 miles/year) is a significant red flag for potential long-term neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,519 miles/year) suggests light use and potential lower wear.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
