This 2012 Vauxhall has 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 31,286 miles. The mileage is also highly suspicious, showing only 31,286 miles in 14 years, indicating potential fraud.

The vehicle shows only 31,286 miles in 14 years, with a suspiciously low 115 miles/year recorded before Dec 2022, strongly suggesting odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Front Brakes imbalanced (Oct 2022) — immediate safety risk.
  • Recurring suspension failures: Nearside Front Coil spring fractured (Oct 2021, Oct 2022, Dec 2023).
  • Recurring headlamp failures: Nearside Headlamp aim incorrect (Oct 2020, Oct 2022, Dec 2025).
  • Recurring tyre wear: Nearside Front Tyre worn (Dec 2024, Dec 2025).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until December 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (Dec 2025).
  • Consistent annual mileage post-2022, suggesting regular use after initial low period.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good safety features for its age.
