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 17 MOT tests on record with a 59% pass rate and 20,127 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect in critical safety areas demands thorough investigation.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,278 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though annual usage has fluctuated significantly since 2020.
Things to check
- Recurring brake disc wear (Dec 2020) and pad wear (Dec 2020, Jan 2024) indicate chronic neglect.
- Multiple tyre failures (Jan 2024, Feb 2025, Mar 2026) and suspension arm advisories (Dec 2020) show a pattern of deferred maintenance.
- A 2022–2023 MOT gap suggests periods of off-road use or unrecorded history, raising questions about maintenance.
- The vehicle is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a £12.50/day charge in London.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
