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 23,802 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect and reactive repairs makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 6,163 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Dangerous Tyre Defects: Oct 2018 advisory escalated to DANGEROUS failure in Oct 2023.
  • Dangerous Brake Defects: Oct 2018 advisory escalated to DANGEROUS failure in Oct 2019.
  • Recurring Major Exhaust Leak: Oct 2022 advisory escalated to MAJOR failure in Oct 2023.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Consistent Low Mileage: Average 6,163 miles/year indicates light, non-abusive use.
  • Valid MOT Until 2026-10-29: Current MOT is long, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No Odometer Fraud: Mileage trajectory is consistent, showing no suspicious drops or spikes.
