This 2016 Vauxhall has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 77,041 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of issues suggests a car that needs careful inspection.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 14,818 miles per year, with a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 5,141 miles in 2024-2025).
Things to check
- Dangerous windscreen wiper failure on 2020-08-18, indicating a serious safety lapse.
- Recurring suspension advisories (coil spring) across 3 tests (2019, 2022, 2024) suggest ongoing wear.
- High annual mileage (14,818 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) indicates more wear.
- Multiple minor failures and advisories for brakes and lights across 2020 and 2024 MOTs.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until September 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending component life.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects (beyond the wiper issue).
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
