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 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 24,343 miles. The vehicle has experienced significant periods of inactivity, which can impact component longevity.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,947 miles per year, with a notable spike of 16,998 miles between June 2023 and May 2025, and another spike of 8,796 miles between May 2025 and April 2026.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures: Lights (3 times), Windscreen (2 times), Engine/Oil (1 time), Brakes (1 time) — indicates systemic neglect.
  • Persistent brake advisories: 7 related advisories across 6 tests, suggesting chronic wear or poor maintenance.
  • Engine oil advisory recurring: Appeared in 4 separate tests (Jun 2018, Jun 2019, Jan 2021, Jun 2023) — a clear pattern of neglect.
  • Significant MOT gaps: 2020, 2022, 2024 — periods of inactivity can accelerate wear on components.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until May 2027 — no immediate retest costs.
  • Consistent low mileage: 5,947 miles/year, indicating light use and potential for longevity.
  • No DANGEROUS defects: All failures were immediately rectified and passed subsequent tests.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating: Excellent safety credentials for a 2012 model.
