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

This 2014 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 23,634 miles. The mileage trajectory is inconsistent, and the vehicle's age and maintenance pattern raise significant red flags.

The mileage trajectory is highly inconsistent, with annual usage ranging from 1,387 miles in Dec 2024 to 19,164 miles in Oct 2020, indicating potential odometer fraud or irregular usage.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Tyre tread pattern not visible (Oct 2020) — immediate safety risk.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (Nov 2023) — critical safety component.
  • Recurring dangerous tyre failures: 3 DANGEROUS defects across Oct 2020 and Nov 2022 tests.
  • Recurring dangerous brake failures: 1 DANGEROUS defect for brake pads (Nov 2023) and binding (Oct 2020).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
