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 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 17,609 miles.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,188 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring DANGEROUS brake failures (Mar 2022, Mar 2022) and tyre failures (Mar 2022, Mar 2022) indicate systemic neglect.
- Persistent suspension advisories (e.g., shock absorber, coil spring) across multiple tests (Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2022) suggest chronic wear.
- Engine oil leak advisory (Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2022) and exhaust advisories (Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2022) show a pattern of unaddressed issues.
- The 2018-03-26 FAILED MOT for stop lamps and wipers, followed by a same-day PASS, suggests a 'quick fix' rather than proper repair.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-04, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,188 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear on components.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies across all recorded MOT tests.
- The 2017-03-28 and 2018-03-26 tests passed without major issues, showing periods of good maintenance.
