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 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 16,314 miles. The vehicle's age and low mileage for its life stage, combined with a timing belt advisory, warrant careful investigation.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage (9,225 mi/yr) but a critical 52-mile discrepancy on 14 Mar 2018, indicating a potential retest issue or data anomaly.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly on 14 Mar 2018 (retest pair, 52 mi difference) — requires clarification.
  • MOT not valid since 2024-03-17 — vehicle is currently off-road and requires immediate re-MOT.
  • First MOT not recorded until 2015-03-18 (14-year gap from 2012 registration) — unexplained history.
  • Timing belt advisory noted (no specific date) — a high-risk component for a 2012 diesel.

Working in its favour

  • Clean MOT pass record with no failures across 5 tests.
  • Normal annual mileage of 9,225 miles/yr (UK average 8,000).
  • No recurring advisories or failures on critical safety systems.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials.
