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 14 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 97,512 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing implausibly low usage for several years, raising serious concerns about its true condition and maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing implausibly low usage of 678 miles/year before October 2017, followed by a significant spike to 15,979 miles/year, indicating potential odometer fraud or a major data anomaly.

Things to check

  • MOT history shows 5 failures and 14 advisories, indicating chronic neglect.
  • Dangerous tyre defects (8 instances) and brake failures (2 instances) are recurring and severe.
  • Mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing implausibly low usage (678 mi/yr) before Oct 2017.
  • The 2019 service gap is a significant red flag, as it indicates periods of inactivity or poor maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until August 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
