This 2016 Vauxhall has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 54,046 miles.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 16,734 miles/year, with a notable drop in usage from 20,785 miles/year to 8,054 miles/year between 2020 and 2022, but consistent high mileage overall.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (coil springs) in Apr 2022 and Apr 2023 indicate ongoing structural wear.
- High mileage (159,734 miles) suggests increased wear on major components like brakes and tyres.
- Multiple tyre advisories across 4 tests (Mar 2019, Mar 2020, Apr 2023, Apr 2024) point to chronic maintenance needs.
- Brake pad and disc advisories in Mar 2020 and Apr 2023 suggest a history of wear on critical safety systems.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until July 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent high mileage (16,734 mi/yr) suggests regular use and no hidden storage.
- No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
