This 2016 Vauxhall has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 13,604 miles. However, a pattern of recurring tyre and brake advisories, including a dangerous brake failure in 2020, indicates a history of maintenance neglect.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 13,604 miles over 10 years, averaging 6,060 miles/year, which is below the UK average of 8,000.
Things to check
- Dangerous brake failure on 2020-02-03 (22,857 mi) — pads <1.5mm.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Feb 2020, Dec 2020, Dec 2024) and major failures (Dec 2020, Dec 2024).
- Recurring exhaust advisories (Feb 2020, Feb 2020, Dec 2024).
- Emissions system advisories recurring across 3 separate tests (Feb 2020, Feb 2020, Dec 2024).
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-14, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age, averaging 6,060 miles/year.
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
