Vauxhall Cavalier Gli Auto (1991)
1991 Vauxhall Cavalier Gli Auto
CarHunch is tracking 1,718 1991 Vauxhall Cavalier Gli Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1991 Vauxhall Cavalier GLI Auto has a 0% first-time pass rate across 1,718 vehicles tested — a stark departure from the 80% UK average — which means every single example examined failed its MOT. With no dangerous defects recorded and zero average failures or advisories per vehicle, the data appears corrupted or incomplete, making it impossible to diagnose what's actually failing these cars or assess real reliability.
Given that this car is 33 years old, it's likely that very few examples remain on UK roads and the dataset may reflect survivorship bias or recording errors rather than genuine performance trends. Before considering one of these vehicles, you'd need to inspect actual MOT test certificates from specific examples to understand what common faults are occurring, since this aggregate data simply cannot be trusted for decision-making.
We have 1,718 1991 Vauxhall Cavalier Gli Auto vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1991 Vauxhall Cavalier Gli Auto
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
