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 20 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 41,047 miles. While it has a long MOT, the mileage history is highly irregular, and several critical components have been flagged repeatedly.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before April 2020 (513 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant spike in usage, indicating inconsistent driving patterns or potential data anomalies.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre wear advisories (Oct 2022, Apr 2023) escalated to a DANGEROUS defect (Apr 2023).
- Recurring brake disc wear advisories (Jul 2018, Jan 2019) suggest ongoing suspension or braking system issues.
- Recurring headlamp failures (Jan 2020, Apr 2023) indicate electrical or lighting system neglect.
- Major emissions failure (Apr 2023) and subsequent advisories (Oct 2022) point to potential engine or exhaust issues.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-28, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current owner has maintained it.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
- Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures demonstrate responsive ownership.
