AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2015 Vauxhall has 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 29,979 miles. While recent advisories are noted, the vehicle's history suggests significant wear and tear.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 16,123 miles/year, with a significant spike in 2021 (630 miles in 7 days) and a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 4,195 miles in 2023).
Things to check
- Recurring brake failures (Nov 2020, Nov 2021, Nov 2022) and advisories (Nov 2025) indicate chronic issues.
- Multiple suspension failures (Nov 2020, Nov 2021, Nov 2022) and advisories (Nov 2025) point to ongoing structural neglect.
- High mileage (16,123 mi/yr) for a 2015 car will accelerate wear on all mechanical components.
- The 630-mile retest anomaly on 01 Nov 2021 suggests a potential administrative or testing issue.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-07 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
