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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 28,675 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2026-05-03, which is a critical red flag.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 6,103 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the recent low annual mileage (e.g., 220 miles in May 2022) warrants investigation.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2015-02-23, indicating severe safety compromise.
  • 5 test failures across 13 MOTs, including lights, suspension, and brakes, showing chronic neglect.
  • 10 recurring advisories on tyres, brakes, and suspension, indicating systemic wear and poor maintenance.
  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2026-05-03, which is a critical and unexplained discrepancy.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory averaging 6,103 miles per year, indicating no odometer fraud.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
  • No recurring failures of the same system in the last 3 years, indicating some isolated issues were addressed.
  • The vehicle has a long history of MOT tests, providing a comprehensive record of its maintenance and wear.
