This 2012 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 32,579 miles. However, a pattern of recurring minor and major defects, particularly with tyres and headlamps, indicates a history of reactive maintenance.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,049 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2024) escalated to major failures, suggesting poor maintenance.
- Headlamp issues (Mar 2021, Mar 2022) escalated from minor to major, indicating a reactive approach to repairs.
- Exhaust emissions exceeded limits (Mar 2023, Mar 2024), with a tampering advisory (Mar 2023), pointing to potential DPF issues.
- Brake disc and pad advisories (Jun 2025) are present, indicating upcoming maintenance needs.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,049 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects (e.g., brakes, suspension).
