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 79% pass rate and 13,300 miles. While there are historical suspension advisories and a timing belt concern, the overall condition is suitable for purchase.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,104 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in its 13-year history.
Things to check
- Offside Headlamp not working on dipped beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii)) — Jul 2018 advisory.
- Offside Front Upper Macpherson strut pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i)) — Jul 2018 failure.
- Nearside Front Upper Macpherson strut pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement (5.3.4 (a) (i)) — Jul 2018 advisory.
- Coolant leak advisory noted (Jul 2016) — monitor for recurrence.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,104 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No recurring major failures across critical systems like brakes or steering.
- MOT valid until December 2026, offering significant peace of mind.
