This 2016 Vauxhall has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 109,614 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of tyre wear and a recent major failure in suspension warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows exceptionally high annual mileage averaging 16,564 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable drop in usage from 2023 onwards.
Things to check
- Dangerous tyre failure on 2021-01-15 (both front tyres below 1.6mm).
- Recurring tyre advisories from 2019-07-12 to 2024-12-15 indicate chronic wear.
- Major suspension failure on 2023-01-13 (Offside Rear Coil spring fractured).
- High mileage (165,191 miles) suggests increased wear and tear on components.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-14, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring major failures on critical systems like brakes or steering.
- Consistent retest history shows issues were addressed promptly.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe and reliable vehicle.
