This 2016 Vauxhall has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 29,598 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring suspension failures and advisories, including a recent major tyre failure, indicates potential ongoing maintenance costs.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 29,598 miles over 10 years, averaging 8,723 miles per year, which is consistent with UK driving habits.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., 2021, 2023, 2025).
- Major failure for Offside Rear Coil spring fractured on 2021-02-26, followed by subsequent advisories.
- Major failure for Tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning on 2025-10-14, a safety-critical system.
- Recent major failure for Nearside Front Position lamp not working on 2025-10-14, indicating recent electrical issues.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until October 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age, suggesting regular and predictable use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
