AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Vauxhall has 13 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 40,966 miles. While it has a long MOT, the repeated failures and advisories point to significant underlying wear and potential neglect.
The vehicle exhibits high annual usage, averaging 12,243 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, which will accelerate wear on critical components.
Things to check
- Recurring Engine MIL failures (Mar 2022, Feb 2023) and advisories (Feb 2024, Apr 2025) indicate a persistent and complex engine management system issue.
- Recurring Suspension Arm failures (Mar 2022, Feb 2023) and advisories (Feb 2024, Apr 2025) suggest chronic and widespread suspension component wear.
- Recurring Exhaust advisories (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022) and failures (Mar 2022) point to a long-standing and unresolved exhaust system issue.
- Recurring Brake Master Cylinder advisories (Mar 2022, Feb 2023) and failures (Mar 2022) suggest a history of brake system issues.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until April 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent high mileage (12,243 mi/yr) suggests regular use and potential for good maintenance.
