This 2012 Vauxhall has 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 12,242 miles. The very low annual mileage (2,433 miles/yr) is a significant red flag for a 14-year-old vehicle.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 32,988 miles over 14 years (average 2,433 miles/yr), significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year, suggesting potential odometer fraud or long periods of inactivity.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 32,988 mi over 14 years (2,433 mi/yr) — raises odometer fraud concerns.
- Very low annual usage (284 miles in 2021, 436 miles in 2023) — inconsistent with typical vehicle maintenance.
- First MOT in July 2018 at 24,150 miles, then only 7,738 miles added in 5 years (Jul 2023) — highly suspicious.
Working in its favour
- No MOT failures recorded across 8 tests — demonstrates a well-maintained vehicle.
- Valid MOT until July 2026 — no immediate retesting or safety concerns.
- Consistent annual mileage increases (though low) — no sudden drops or suspicious spikes.
- No dangerous defects or major recurring system failures — a clean safety record.
