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 23,143 miles. The vehicle's mileage is low for its age, but the pattern of issues suggests significant underlying problems.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 7,137 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but this is not a strong positive given the recurring mechanical issues.
Things to check
- Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (Oct 2021, Oct 2024) — a recurring and serious engine fault.
- Nearside Rear Wheel bearing rough when rotated (Oct 2021, Oct 2024) — a recurring suspension failure.
- Front and Rear Tyres worn close to legal limit (Apr 2019, Oct 2020, Oct 2021, Oct 2022) — persistent and recurring advisories.
- Brake pads and discs wearing thin (Oct 2020, Oct 2021) — recurring advisories on critical safety components.
Working in its favour
- Mileage is consistently low, averaging 7,137 miles per year, indicating light use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until December 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
