This 2012 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 34,837 miles. While mileage is low and consistent, the repeated advisories for critical safety components warrant significant caution.
The vehicle exhibits consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,081 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Dangerous Offside Front Tyre defect recorded on 2024-09-04, indicating severe neglect.
- Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., 2024-09-04, 2025-09-04).
- Persistent coil spring advisories from 2020-09-04 onwards, suggesting chronic wear.
- Multiple brake pad advisories from 2020-09-04 onwards, indicating ongoing wear.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-08, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,081 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
