This 2012 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 1,876 miles. The car is currently on SORN with no valid MOT.
The vehicle shows exceptionally high annual usage of 21,911 miles/yr, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles/yr, with a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 5,772 miles in 2020).
Things to check
- High annual mileage (21,911 mi/yr) indicates heavy use, accelerating wear.
- Recurring tyre failures (Mar 2020, Feb 2021) and suspension issues (Feb 2022) suggest past neglect.
- The vehicle is currently on SORN with no valid MOT, requiring immediate re-registration and inspection.
- The 2012 Vauxhall is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- The vehicle has a long, consistent service history, with regular MOT testing.
- All past MOT failures were promptly rectified, demonstrating responsible owner action.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies, despite high annual usage.
