AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 22,377 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the consistent advisories and failures warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,148 miles per year, with a significant drop to 898 miles in the last 12 months (Oct 2024 to Oct 2025).
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Oct 2019, Oct 2022, Oct 2023) escalated to a DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2023).
- Persistent CV boot advisories (Oct 2019, Oct 2021, Oct 2024) suggest an ongoing electrical issue.
- Very low annual mileage (4,148 mi/yr) indicates minimal use, which can lead to component degradation.
- Five test failures across 13 MOTs, with some immediately retested, suggests reactive maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until October 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
