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 20,117 miles. The timing belt is a known model weakness, and a recent major exhaust leak points to ongoing maintenance needs.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,546 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 57,823 miles recorded over 10 years.
Things to check
- 2023-01-05: Major failure for excessively corroded subframe mounting, a serious structural safety concern.
- 2023-01-05: Major failure for fractured offside front coil spring, indicating suspension neglect.
- 2025-05-01: Major failure for exhaust leak, escalating from advisory in Jan 2022, shows a pattern of wear.
- 2024-02-01: Advisory for front brake pads wearing thin and discs pitted, a recurring issue across multiple tests.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until June 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,546 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
- Recent MOT pass (June 2026) confirms current roadworthiness despite past issues.
