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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 22,608 miles. While mileage is low, the history of neglect requires thorough investigation.
The vehicle exhibits very low annual usage, averaging only 5,455 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2019 and 2021 (3,242 miles in 12 months).
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2021-08-03, immediately rectified but indicates past neglect.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Aug 2022) escalated to MAJOR failure (Sep 2025), indicating chronic wear.
- Recurring brake disc advisories (Aug 2024) suggest a systemic issue with brake maintenance.
- Multiple recurring lighting failures (Aug 2024, Sep 2025) point to a pattern of electrical neglect.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-02, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
