This 2015 Vauxhall has 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 17,135 miles. The pattern of repeated issues, including a dangerous timing chain fault reported by the community, makes this vehicle too risky to purchase.
The vehicle shows normal, consistent usage averaging 7,096 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 11 MOT tests.
Things to check
- Dangerous timing chain fault reported by community — high risk of engine failure.
- Recurring major failures in lights (4 times) and suspension (2 times) across 11 MOTs.
- Persistent advisories on engine oil, coolant, brakes, and tyres across multiple tests.
- Recent June 2025 MOT pass followed by immediate retest and pass, suggesting borderline condition.
Working in its favour
