This 2016 Vauxhall has 9 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 42,325 miles. The recent Oct 2025 MOT highlighted worn front tyres and a suspension arm advisory, indicating immediate maintenance needs.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 13,396 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable drop to 3,970 miles in the last 12 months (Oct 2025).
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 5 tests (Apr 2019, Feb 2020, May 2021, Jun 2021, Oct 2025) indicate chronic wear.
- Offside Rear Shock absorber advisory recurring in Feb 2020, May 2021, and Jun 2021 tests suggests ongoing suspension issues.
- Oct 2025 MOT noted 'Front Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge' and 'Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement' — immediate costs.
- High annual mileage (13,396 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) will accelerate wear on components.
Working in its favour
- Strong overall MOT record with 8 passes out of 9 tests, demonstrating general roadworthiness.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history, indicating no immediate safety-critical failures.
- Mileage trajectory is consistent, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, suggesting genuine usage.
- Recent MOT pass (Oct 2025) provides a fresh 12-month window of validity and a clean bill of health for the time.
