This 2017 Vauxhall has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 10,470 miles. The very low annual mileage (2,920 mi/yr) raises questions about its true condition and usage.
The vehicle shows very low usage averaging 2,920 miles/year, with a critical anomaly of 27,028 miles over 9 years (Jan 2017 to Apr 2026), significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 27,028 mi over 9 years (Jan 2017 to Apr 2026) — indicates minimal use or potential odometer fraud.
- Major failure recorded: Offside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (Mar 2024) — a significant structural component failure.
- Major failure recorded: Steering (no specific component, Mar 2024) — indicates a critical safety system was compromised.
- Mileage trajectory shows very low annual usage (2,920 mi/yr), suggesting potential long periods of inactivity or neglect.
Working in its favour
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since the major suspension failure in March 2024.
- Valid MOT until April 2027 — no immediate retesting required.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a well-regarded safety record for its age.
- Consistent annual mileage increases (albeit very low) suggest a single owner or regular use patterns.
