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 15 MOT tests on record with a 87% pass rate and 14,736 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a recent MOT expiry date of 2027-02-27, presents a significant and unexplained discrepancy.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 6,697 miles/yr, with a critical 14-year gap from 2012 to 2015, and a recent 14-month period of only 722 miles (Feb 2025 to Feb 2026).

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures (6 major) and advisories (5 related) across multiple tests indicate systemic neglect.
  • Suspension system failures (1 major) and advisories (5 related) on the same axle show a pattern of poor maintenance.
  • The 2015-2017 MOT gap is highly suspicious, suggesting potential off-road use or unrecorded periods.
  • The Feb 2026 MOT shows only 722 miles in 14 months, a clear red flag for potential odometer fraud.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2027-02-27, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
  • The car has consistently passed most MOT retests after initial failures, showing responsive repairs.
