AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Vauxhall has 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 18,697 miles. The recurring nature of critical safety systems like brakes and suspension, combined with a DANGEROUS brake failure, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,011 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 1,459 miles between Apr 2025 and Apr 2026).
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect recorded on 2024-01-04 for Offside Rear Brake pipe connection leaking.
- Recurring major failures in brakes (4 times) and suspension (1 time) across multiple years.
- Dangerous brake failure on 2024-01-04 indicates severe safety compromise.
- Extremely low annual mileage (4,011 mi/yr) for a 17-year-old vehicle.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided data.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
