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 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 23,859 miles. While mileage is consistent, the high annual usage and repeated safety-critical issues warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent high annual usage, averaging 12,610 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but expect accelerated wear.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Feb 2025): Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
- Recurring DANGEROUS tyre failures (Mar 2023, Mar 2025, Mar 2026) and brake pad wear (Mar 2020, Mar 2023) indicate a reactive maintenance history.
- Multiple MAJOR failures for suspension (Mar 2023, Feb 2025, Mar 2026) and engine/oil (Feb 2025, Mar 2026) suggest underlying issues.
- Consistent high annual mileage (12,610 mi/yr) will accelerate wear on all components, especially brakes and tyres.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until March 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
