AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 5,226 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the recurring dangerous brake failures and persistent tyre advisories indicate significant underlying issues.
The vehicle shows only 5,226 miles over 13 years, which is a critical anomaly and suggests potential odometer fraud, far below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Nov 2025): Front Brakes imbalanced across an axle by more than 50% (1.2.1 (b) (ii))
- MILEAGE ANOMALY: Only 5,226 miles recorded over 13 years (Jan 2013–Dec 2025), indicating potential odometer fraud.
- DANGEROUS BRAKE FAILURES: Recurring dangerous brake system failures (Nov 2024, Nov 2025) and worn discs (Jan 2019, Nov 2024) suggest a deep-seated safety issue.
- RECURRING TYRE ADVISORIES: Five separate tyre advisories (Jan 2019, Nov 2023, Nov 2024) indicate chronic wear and neglect.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until December 2026: Provides immediate peace of mind regarding roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures: The most recent MOT pass in December 2025 is a positive, despite the dangerous history.
- Consistent mileage trajectory: While low, the mileage readings are consistent and show no suspicious drops or spikes.
