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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 47,223 miles. However, a pattern of recurring minor electrical faults and a recent timing belt advisory warrant careful consideration.

Mileage is consistent at 8,451 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious drops, showing normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring registration plate lamp failures (Mar 2016, Jun 2025) indicate ongoing electrical issues.
  • Headlamp aim failures (Mar 2015, Mar 2016) and levelling device issues (Mar 2015) suggest electrical neglect.
  • Engine oil level advisory (Jul 2023) and exhaust advisory (Jul 2023) point to minor wear items needing attention.
  • Timing belt advisory (Jun 2024) for a 2012 diesel engine is a significant upcoming maintenance cost.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until June 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage (8,451 mi/yr) suggests regular use and maintenance.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
