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 86% pass rate and 29,020 miles. However, a pattern of recurring suspension and brake advisories, combined with a history of tyre failures, suggests ongoing maintenance needs.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,901 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories (Jan 2020, Dec 2022) and coil spring fractures (Dec 2020, Sep 2024) indicate ongoing wear.
- Brake disc and pad advisories (Jan 2020, Oct 2025) suggest a history of brake maintenance needs.
- Electrical minor defects (Dec 2020, Aug 2023) were noted but not immediately addressed.
- The 2015-03-05 MOT advisory for a child seat suggests a potential safety or inspection issue.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age, averaging 8,901 miles/year.
