This 2013 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 13,340 miles. While it has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, the history of repeated failures and advisories on critical safety systems demands thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 10,955 miles/year, but a significant drop in annual mileage from 20,000+ miles to 6,000-7,000 miles per year since 2023 is a red flag.
Things to check
- Recurring brake failures and advisories across 7 tests (2017, 2018, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) indicate systemic neglect.
- Tyre advisories and failures are present in 7 separate tests (2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2024, 2025), showing chronic wear.
- A major failure for the rear coil spring in Jul 2023, followed by a pass, suggests a reactive repair approach.
- The significant drop in annual mileage from 20,000+ miles to 6,000-7,000 miles per year since 2023 is a red flag for potential inactivity or hidden issues.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers, suggesting genuine usage.
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
