This 2013 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 18,620 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of wear suggests a high-maintenance vehicle.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing normal usage of 10,348 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but a significant drop in annual mileage from 2021 onwards.

Things to check

  • 2017-05-24: Both rear coil springs corroded (advisory) — a known recurring issue.
  • 2017-05-24: Rear tyres out of shape & cracking in tread (advisory) — a dangerous defect precursor.

  • 2021-01-11: Front lower engine mounting damaged (advisory) — a known recurring issue.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded since 2026-01-08.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
