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 7 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 29,320 miles. The recent low annual mileage and multiple suspension advisories also warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,803 miles per year, with a significant drop to just 965 miles between Sep 2024 and Oct 2025.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Jul 2021, Sep 2023, Oct 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
- Major failure for parking brake efficiency on 2023-09-12, though fixed same day.
- Major failure for offside front coil spring fractured on 2023-09-12, though fixed same day.
- Low annual mileage (5,803 mi/yr) since 2018 registration, suggesting limited use.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No mileage anomalies or fraud detected in the MOT history.
- All major failures (brake, suspension) were immediately rectified on the same day.
