AI verdict AVOID 40/100
AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Vauxhall has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 17,624 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the recurring brake and tyre advisories, combined with the timing chain risk, make this vehicle too high-risk to purchase.
The vehicle shows very low annual mileage averaging 5,965 miles/year, which is below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year, but no anomalies or fraud detected.
Things to check
- Critical timing chain issue flagged by community — high risk of failure.
- Recurring brake pad wear advisories across 5 tests (Sep 2018, Dec 2024, Jan 2026).
- Recurring tyre wear advisories across 4 tests (Sep 2018, Sep 2020, Sep 2021, Sep 2022).
- Recurring shock absorber wear advisories across 4 tests (Sep 2018, Sep 2020, Sep 2021, Sep 2022).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until January 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in MOT history.
- Consistent, low annual mileage suggests light use and potential longevity.
