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 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 37,563 miles. The recurring advisories for critical safety components like tyres and brakes, combined with a timing chain issue from community knowledge, make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 37,563 miles in 2016, then only 2,210 miles between 2023 and 2025, and a total of 124,064 miles by April 2026, indicating a severe and unexplained usage pattern.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: 37,563 miles in 2016, then only 2,210 miles between 2023 and 2025.
  • 5 MOT failures and 12 tests over 13 years, with 4 major failures.
  • Recurring advisories on critical safety components: tyres (11 advisories), brakes (10 advisories), and exhaust (5 advisories).
  • Timing chain issue reported in community knowledge for this 2013 Vauxhall model.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until April 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • Consistent annual mileage before 2023 (9,315 miles/year), aligning with typical UK usage.
