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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 40,221 miles. The vehicle's age and mileage mean the timing belt is likely due for replacement.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,450 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though annual usage has decreased significantly since 2019.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc advisories (2015, 2017, 2023) indicate chronic wear and potential future costs.
  • Recurring suspension advisories (2016, 2025) suggest ongoing component wear and potential future repairs.
  • Multiple tyre failures and advisories (2015, 2016, 2020, 2023) point to a history of poor maintenance.
  • The 2017 advisory for 'Nearside Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin' was not addressed until 2023.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until October 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage averaging 11,450 miles/year suggests regular, predictable use.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
