Insight summary

Vauxhall Cascada is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 2,629 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 80.4% from 17,694 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 54. The current pool shows an average of 67,308 miles and an average age of 10.7 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 69,379 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by diesel, and the most frequent defect themes are coil springs, tyre condition and brake pads. The practical read is that the Vauxhall Cascada looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
