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 80% pass rate and 25,250 miles. While it passed its most recent MOT, the pattern of advisories and a past failure warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle recorded suspiciously low mileage (459 mi/yr equivalent) before April 2021, followed by normal usage, indicating a period of inactivity or incorrect recording.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage (459 mi/yr equivalent) before April 2021.
- Recurring Emissions Advisory: Noted in 3 separate tests (Mar 2026, Apr 2020, Apr 2021) — indicates a persistent issue.
- Recurring Brake Disc Advisory: Noted in 2 separate tests (Mar 2026, Apr 2026) — suggests ongoing wear.
- Past Major Failure: Nearside Rear Coil Spring fractured (Mar 2023) — a significant structural component failure.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until April 2027: Offers peace of mind for the next 3 years.
- No recent major failures: The most recent MOT (Mar 2026) passed after addressing a single failure.
- Consistent annual mileage post-2021: Usage has been normal since the initial anomaly.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating: Indicates a strong safety record for its era.
