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

This 2010 Vauxhall has 26 MOT tests on record with a 54% pass rate and 38,306 miles. The recurring major failures and advisories for critical safety systems, combined with unexplained mileage and a 16-year-old vehicle, present an unacceptable risk.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop in annual usage from 8,692 miles in 2019-2020 to 2,730 miles in 2020-2021, then a further decrease to 1,000 miles in 2021-2022, indicating a severe and unexplained anomaly.

Things to check

  • MOT HISTORY GAP: No MOT tests recorded from 2012-12-18 to 2014-02-03 (a 16-year gap).
  • 8 Failures & 8 Passes: The vehicle's MOT history shows a 50% failure rate, indicating chronic maintenance issues.
  • Recurring Major Failures: Headlamps, brake hoses, shock absorbers, and exhausts show repeated failures and advisories.
  • Dangerous Tyre Defects: Two DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in Feb 2020 and Feb 2025.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT: The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until 2027-02-27.
  • Consistent Mileage: The vehicle has consistently low annual mileage, averaging 7,070 miles per year.
  • No Odometer Fraud: The mileage readings show no decreases or suspiciously round numbers.
