This 2016 Vauxhall has 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 24,734 miles.
The vehicle shows a 10-year gap in mileage from 2016 to 2026, followed by suspiciously low annual usage (e.g., 5 miles between Feb 2023 and Jan 2024).
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jan 2026): Nearside Front Inner Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))
- Mileage shows a 10-year gap from 2016 to 2026, then suspiciously low annual usage.
- MOT expiry date 2027-03-25 is highly irregular for a 2016 vehicle, suggesting a data anomaly.
- Recurring suspension arm failures and advisories, including subframe corrosion, indicate ongoing structural wear.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
- MOT valid until 2027-03-25, suggesting a recent pass despite the mileage anomalies.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2026-03-25 retest pass.
- The vehicle has a consistent annual mileage of 8,306 miles/yr (UK average: 8,000).
