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 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 26,185 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated advisories and one major failure for a shock absorber indicate potential ongoing maintenance needs.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,561 miles per year, with a notable drop to 1,633 miles between June 2023 and June 2024, suggesting periods of very light use.
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories (May 2020, Jun 2022) and one major failure (Jun 2022) suggest ongoing wear.
- Recurring suspension advisories (May 2020, Jun 2022) and one major failure (Jun 2022) for a shock absorber indicate structural neglect.
- Recurring tyre advisories (May 2020, May 2021) and one major failure (Jun 2022) for tread depth point to a history of poor maintenance.
- The June 2022 MOT failure for a serious shock absorber leak, though rectified, is a significant safety concern.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until June 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,561 miles/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
- No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (June 2025).
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
