AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Vauxhall has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 25,128 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated nature of these faults suggests potential underlying wear and tear.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,515 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent period of very low usage (Oct 2024 to May 2026).
Things to check
- Recurring suspension arm ball joint dust cover failures (Feb 2024 MINOR, Oct 2025 MAJOR).
- Recurring brake pad wear advisories (Feb 2021, Feb 2022) indicate a history of brake maintenance.
- Engine/Oil major failure in Oct 2025, though retested and passed, is a concern for a 2018 diesel.
- Suspension Macpherson strut pin/bush advisory (Feb 2023) escalated to failure (Oct 2025).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until May 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (7,515 mi/yr) aligns with UK average, no fraud detected.
- All major failures were immediately rectified and passed on retest, showing responsive ownership.
- No mileage discrepancies or odometer fraud detected across 9 MOT tests.
