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 presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on June 10, 2024, 152,109 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the vehicle has successfully cleared testing without recorded defects in recent years. While the history shows failures in 2023 and 2024, the immediate passes following these tests suggest that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing them to escalate into mechanical neglect. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 152,109 miles represents an annual average of approximately 6,900 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a light vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady progression between the 2022 test at 138,624 miles and June 2024, covering roughly 13,500 miles over two years. This relatively low annual mileage reduces the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of rubber-based degradation and corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as older Vauxhall models are prone to corrosion that may not always trigger an immediate MOT failure. Given the recent failures recorded just before passes, a close look at the suspension bushes and brake lines is necessary to ensure no recurring play or perished rubber remains. While the record is clean of specific mechanical defects, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check of the exhaust system and fluid leaks for long-term reliability.
