AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Vauxhall has 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 47,806 miles. The pattern of suspension and brake issues, combined with a timing chain fault, suggests significant underlying wear and potential future costs.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,019 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension arm failures (Sep 2018, May 2022) and subframe advisories (May 2023, May 2024) indicate chronic structural wear.
- Brake system failures (Sep 2019, May 2023) and fluctuating brake advisory (Sep 2019) point to a history of brake maintenance neglect.
- Exhaust system advisories (Nov 2020, May 2023) and emissions failure (May 2023) suggest ongoing exhaust and emissions issues.
- The timing chain advisory (no specific date) is a high-risk component for a 2013 diesel, requiring immediate attention.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage (8,019 mi/yr) suggests light use and potentially lower wear.
- Recent clean MOT pass (May 2024) after addressing previous failures, showing owner's responsiveness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
