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 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 22,826 miles. However, a critical pattern of recurring tyre and fuel system advisories, culminating in a dangerous tyre failure, indicates a history of deferred maintenance.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 7,125 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low annual usage of 5,824 miles in 2024-2025.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Aug 2024): Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed 215/50/17 (5.2.3 (d) (ii))
- Dangerous Offside Rear Tyre defect on 2017-07-06, indicating severe neglect.
- Recurring Fuel System advisories (2015, 2017) and Tyre advisories (2016, 2017, 2019, 2022) across multiple tests.
- Engine Oil advisory on 2015-07-11, a recurring issue that was never fully resolved.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-01, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,125 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects in the MOT history.
