AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Vauxhall has 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 2,561 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a DANGEROUS tyre defect in 2021, warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before May 2019 (491 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant increase in usage, but the recent annual mileage of ~5,500 miles is unusually low for a 2017 car.
Things to check
- May 2021: DANGEROUS defect recorded for Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below 1.6mm.
- May 2021: Major failure for Offside Windscreen wiper not clearing effectively.
- May 2021: Major failure for Central Rear Seat belt retracting mechanism defective.
- May 2026: Recurring advisories for brakes and tyres across multiple tests indicate ongoing wear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-09, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2021 issues were resolved.
- Consistent annual mileage since 2022, suggesting regular use despite low overall numbers.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record.
