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 28,227 miles. The timing belt is a known model weakness, and the car's low annual usage warrants careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,718 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but a 2021 service gap is noted.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jan 2024, Jan 2025, Jan 2026) indicate ongoing wear and potential neglect.
- Recurring headlamp aim advisories (Dec 2016, Dec 2017) suggest a persistent electrical or mechanical issue.
- A 2021 service gap (no MOT recorded) raises concerns about the vehicle's maintenance history during that period.
- The timing belt is a known model weakness for this 2012 Vauxhall, requiring careful inspection and potential replacement.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until January 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent low annual mileage (4,718 miles/yr) suggests light use and potentially lower wear on components.
