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

This 2010 Vauxhall has 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 21,597 miles. The vehicle shows very low annual usage, which can be a concern for long-term reliability.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging 5,726 miles per year, with a significant spike of 11,073 miles between Feb 2025 and Feb 2026.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension advisories (e.g., Feb 2026) suggest ongoing wear and potential future costs.
  • Very low annual mileage (5,726 mi/yr) for a 16-year-old vehicle can indicate long periods of inactivity.
  • Two major suspension failures (Mar 2020, Mar 2021) and subsequent advisories indicate a pattern of wear.
  • The 2010 Vauxhall's age and potential for accumulated wear on major components like the timing belt.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-02-18, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine odometer readings.
