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 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 24,058 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a pattern of neglect, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,534 miles per year, with a significant 13-month gap in MOT history (Dec 2016 to Dec 2017) and a 3-year gap (2022-2025).

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures on brakes (Mar 2025, Feb 2023, Feb 2020) and suspension (Mar 2025, Feb 2023) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Multiple recurring advisories on tyres (Feb 2021, Mar 2022, Feb 2020, Apr 2026) and shock absorbers (Feb 2023, Mar 2025, Apr 2026) point to chronic wear.
  • A 3-year MOT gap (Dec 2016 to Dec 2017) and a 3-year gap (2022-2025) raises serious questions about the vehicle's maintenance history.
  • The extremely low annual mileage (5,534 miles/yr) for a 2013 vehicle suggests prolonged inactivity, which can be detrimental to mechanical components.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until April 2027, indicating it is roadworthy at present.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The car has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017), suggesting good inherent safety features.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, mileage history with no suspicious drops or spikes.
