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

This 2016 Vauxhall has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 27,707 miles. The recent MOT pass in November 2025 still carries multiple advisories, indicating immediate maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,330 miles per year, which is below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, but no anomalies or decreases were detected.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc advisories across 7 tests (Jul 2019, Nov 2020, Nov 2022) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 3 tests (Jul 2019) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
  • Major failure for Offside Front Sub-frame corrosion (Oct 2023) is a serious structural concern.
  • Major failure for Nearside Front Track rod end ball joint (Oct 2023) points to suspension neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-25 provides peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (5,330 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
