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 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 13,202 miles. The very low annual mileage combined with recurring tyre and suspension advisories raises significant concerns.
The vehicle shows only 27,648 miles over 13 years, averaging 2,181 miles/year, which is a critical red flag for potential odometer fraud and is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.
Things to check
- MILEAGE ANOMALY: Only 27,648 miles recorded over 13 years (Jan 2013 to Sep 2025), indicating potential odometer fraud.
- DANGEROUS DEFECT: Brakes failed in Aug 2023, indicating a serious safety-critical failure that was only recently rectified.
- RECURRING TYRE ADVISORIES: 15 advisories for wear/damage (Aug 2023, Aug 2024, Sep 2025) suggest chronic neglect.
- RECURRING SUSPENSION ADVISORIES: Both nearside and offside front coil springs fractured (Aug 2023) indicate a pattern of suspension wear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-05, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No major recurring failures on the same system after initial rectification.
- Consistent, albeit very low, annual mileage suggests single-owner history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
