This 2016 Vauxhall has 6 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 31,484 miles. The timing belt is a known model weakness, and the recent MOT history shows a pattern of minor failures.
The vehicle shows normal annual usage (6,559 miles/yr) until 2021, but a 4-year MOT gap (Feb 2021 to Jun 2025) means mileage during this period is unverified, raising concerns about its maintenance history.
Things to check
- 4-year MOT gap (Feb 2021–Jun 2025) means unverified mileage and potential neglect.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Feb 2020, Feb 2021) and a dangerous failure (Feb 2020) suggest ongoing wear.
- Major failure for offside front windscreen wiper (Feb 2021) indicates a past maintenance lapse.
- Unverified timing belt service history for a 2016 diesel engine is a significant upcoming cost.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until June 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (6,559 miles/yr) for its age, indicating light use.
