AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2011 Vauxhall has 21 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 24,747 miles. The vehicle's 15-year age, combined with a 24,747-mile odometer reading, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 8,806 miles/year, with a 24,747-mile reading in 2014 and only 122,269 miles by Feb 2025, raising significant odometer fraud concerns.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect on 2019-01-25 (65,939 mi) indicates severe neglect.
- Recurring suspension failures (5+ tests) and 11 related advisories point to chronic structural issues.
- Major emissions failure on 2020-02-05 (78,663 mi) suggests underlying engine problems.
- The 2016-02-05 headlamp failure and 2019-01-25 dangerous tyre defect are major safety concerns.
Working in its favour
- MOT valid until 2027-02-12, indicating a recent pass despite the history.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (8,806 mi/yr) suggests light use.
- No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (Feb 2026).
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
