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 75% pass rate and 33,327 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's history suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.
The vehicle exhibits very low annual mileage, averaging 5,101 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, including a 777-mile period between Oct 2023 and Nov 2024.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (Oct 2019, Oct 2023) and advisories (Oct 2024) indicate chronic neglect.
- Exhaust corrosion noted in Oct 2017 and Oct 2025, a 7-year recurring issue.
- Brake pad wear escalated from advisory (Oct 2018) to DANGEROUS failure (Oct 2019).
- Tyre condition advisories (Oct 2018, Oct 2019, Oct 2020) and shock absorber leaks (Oct 2019, Oct 2023) show a pattern of deferred maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until November 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,101 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
