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 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 9,324 miles. The timing belt replacement is a major upcoming cost.

The vehicle shows normal annual usage from 2015 to 2020, but a critical anomaly occurred between June 2015 and November 2016, with only 9,324 miles recorded over 11 years, followed by a sharp increase.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: Only 9,324 miles recorded between Jan 2015 and Nov 2016, then 33,904 miles by Nov 2018.
  • Recurring brake advisories: Front brake disc worn (May 2022), offside front brake pad less than 1.5mm (May 2022).
  • Recurring tyre advisories: 12 advisories across 4 tests (May 2022, May 2023, May 2024, May 2025).
  • Recurring engine/oil advisories: 5 advisories across 3 tests (May 2022, May 2023, May 2024).

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until April 2027, offering peace of mind for several years.
  • Normal annual mileage (7,903 miles/year) since 2016, indicating regular use.
  • No recurring major failures, only advisories, suggesting issues were addressed promptly.
