This 2012 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 63,621 miles. The mileage is consistent, but the vehicle's age and SORN status warrant careful consideration.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,217 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though annual usage has fluctuated.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (coil springs) in Mar 2022 and Mar 2024 indicate ongoing wear.
- Recurring brake system advisories (pads, condition) in Mar 2022 and Mar 2024 suggest significant upcoming maintenance.
- The vehicle is currently on SORN status, meaning it is not currently taxed or insured for road use.
- The MOT expired on 2026-03-30, but the vehicle has not been re-tested since, implying it is not roadworthy.
Working in its favour
