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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 32,116 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of dangerous tyre defects and suspension failures warrants a thorough inspection.
The vehicle exhibits very low annual mileage, averaging only 5,606 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2019 and 2020 (641 miles in 12 months).
Things to check
- Dangerous tyre defects recorded on 2018-08-29 and 2018-09-01 (MOT 41,324 mi).
- Fractured Nearside Rear Coil spring on 2018-08-29 (MOT 41,324 mi).
- Recurring tyre advisories and failures across multiple tests (e.g., Sep 2021, Sep 2023, Sep 2025).
- Very low annual mileage (5,606 miles/yr) suggests limited use or potential neglect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-12, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No mileage discrepancies or signs of odometer fraud detected.
- All major failures (wipers, coil springs) were immediately rectified and passed subsequent tests.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
