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 73% pass rate and 21,159 miles. This fundamental discrepancy makes the vehicle unroadworthy and illegal to drive.

The mileage trajectory shows consistent, normal usage averaging 7,238 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in 2023-2024 that is explained by the owner's driving patterns.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' despite a future expiry date of 2026-05-20 — this is a critical legal and safety issue.
  • Four test failures in 12 MOTs, including a DANGEROUS tyre defect in Feb 2019 and a DANGEROUS brake failure in May 2026.
  • Recurring brake disc wear advisories from 2018 to 2025, escalating to a DANGEROUS failure in May 2026.
  • Recurring parking brake efficiency advisories from 2018 to 2025, escalating to a DANGEROUS failure in May 2026.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal mileage usage averaging 7,238 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid tax status, indicating it is currently registered and compliant.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe and well-designed vehicle.
