AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2014 Vauxhall has 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 15,914 miles. The high mileage for its age, combined with a pattern of reactive maintenance, makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,311 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable spike in 2019-2020 to 28,857 miles.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Sep 2017 – Sep 2018)
  • Dangerous Offside Front Anti-roll bar corroded (Sep 2018) — a critical structural safety issue.
  • Dangerous Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (Aug 2023) — indicates severe neglect of safety-critical components.
  • Recurring Major Emissions failure (Jul 2025) — suggests ongoing engine management system problems.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until July 2026 — provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No mileage discrepancies or fraud detected — the odometer readings are consistent and plausible.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
