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 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 33,530 miles. However, a significant history of recurring brake advisories and a recent major tyre failure, combined with a timing chain issue flagged by the community, warrant careful consideration.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,989 miles/year, with a notable spike of 23,362 miles in 2022-2023, but no suspicious drops or round numbers.
Things to check
- Major tyre failure on 2026-03-31 for a cut deep enough to reach ply/cords indicates a significant safety concern.
- Offside Rear Inner Tyre slightly damaged misshapen advisory on 2024-02-20, though not a failure, shows prior neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-31 provides peace of mind for the next
