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 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 17,411 miles. While most failures were immediately rectified, the recurring nature of these safety-critical systems warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,276 miles per year, with a significant spike in usage between Jan 2021 (19,715 mi) and Jan 2022 (31,554 mi), and subsequent periods of low use.
Things to check
- Jan 2023: DANGEROUS brake pad failure (less than 1.5 mm) indicates severe neglect of critical safety components.
- Jan 2023: Multiple MAJOR lighting failures (headlamps, stop lamps) suggest a pattern of electrical or maintenance issues.
- 2020: A 1-year MOT gap (Dec 2019 to Jan 2021) suggests the vehicle may have been off-road or not properly maintained.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Valid MOT until January 2027 provides significant peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
- Consistent low annual mileage (5,276 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential for longer component life.
- All MOT failures and major defects were immediately rectified, demonstrating responsive owner action.
