AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2014 Vauxhall has 10 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 46,826 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of issues and low usage warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (904 mi/yr equivalent) from 2014 to 2022, followed by normal usage (11,716 mi/yr) from 2022 onwards, indicating a significant period of inactivity.

Things to check

  • Suspension advisories recurring across 4 separate MOT tests (Feb 2020, Feb 2022, Feb 2023) — indicates ongoing wear.
  • Mileage anomaly: 904 mi/yr equivalent from 2014 to 2022, then normal usage — suggests long periods of inactivity.
  • Major failure for Nearside Rear Registration plate lamp (Feb 2020) — indicates electrical issues.
  • Major failure for Nearside Front Headlamp (Feb 2023) — indicates further electrical issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2024-02-03, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring failures in critical safety systems (brakes, steering, suspension failures).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
  • Consistent annual mileage post-2022 (11,716 mi/yr), suggesting regular use after initial low period.
