Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward more reactive repairs as the car ages. The most recent test conducted in June 2026 at 102,507 miles resulted in an for an inoperative rear plate lamp and a corroded nearside rear brake pipe. While the car passed the 2024 and 2025 tests cleanly, the appearance of corrosion on brake lines suggests that environmental degradation is beginning to outpace standard mileage-related wear. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old Vauxhall, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. There is a notable period of low usage between 2019 and 2021, where the vehicle covered only 2,855 miles in two years. However, usage increased significantly after 2021, with the car covering over 30,000 miles in the last five years. This recent increase in annual mileage mileage likely correlates with the increased frequency of failures involving rubber components and suspension parts seen in the later test dates. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear suspension assembly, as the record shows a recurring failure of the offside rear coil spring, which snapped in both 2016 and 2024. The 2023 failure regarding parking brake efficiency and an inoperative nearside side indicates the handbrake mechanism may require adjustment or replacement of the cylinders. Furthermore, the corroded nearside rear brake pipe noted in June 2026 requires a physical check to ensure the corrosion is not deep-seated enough to lead to a sudden loss of hydraulic pressure. The history also highlights issues with tyre perished and cracked sidewalls in 2022 and 2023, suggesting the vehicle may have sat for long periods or been exposed to harsh conditions. A thorough inspection of the current tyres for dry rot is essential. Given the age of the vehicle and the report of brake line corrosion, the buyer should also examine the structural integrity of the underbody and brake mounting points to ensure that rust is not progressing beyond surface level.
