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 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 30,254 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the consistent wear on critical components suggests potential future costs.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before May 2021 (52 mi/yr equivalent) and again before Apr 2022 (560 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop to average usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (Apr 2022) and advisories (Mar 2020, Apr 2023) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Apr 2024, Apr 2025, Apr 2026) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
  • Mileage dropped significantly from 2019 to 2022 (2,913 mi in 12 months), then to 539 mi

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-06, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • Consistent annual mileage since 2022, indicating regular use.
