This 2012 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 22,538 miles. The very low mileage for its age, coupled with a significant mileage anomaly, raises serious questions about its true condition and usage.
The vehicle shows very low usage, averaging 2,830 miles/year, with a critical anomaly: only 264 miles were recorded between registration in Jan 2012 and the first MOT in Mar 2019, suggesting potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Recurring major failures in lights (Mar 2019) and suspension (Mar 2021, Feb 2025) indicate structural neglect.
- Brake disc advisories are RECURRING across 5 separate tests (Mar 2021, Feb 2023, Feb 2025, Feb 2026), a clear pattern of wear.
- Tyre advisories are RECURRING across 2 separate tests (Mar 2019, Feb 2025), suggesting chronic under-investment in consumables.
- Very low mileage (22,538 mi over 14 years) combined with a 264-mile anomaly (Mar 2019) is a major red flag for odometer integrity.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No DANGEROUS defects are currently outstanding, as all past failures were immediately rectified.
- The vehicle has a consistent, if low, mileage history since the first MOT in 2019.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe and well-designed vehicle.
