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 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 5,287 miles. The timing belt is a known model-specific weakness for this age.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,391 miles per year, with a significant spike in usage from 2021 onwards, but no suspicious drops or round numbers.
Things to check
- Recurring brake system advisories (2019, 2022, 2023, 2024).
- Major emissions failure recorded on 2025-12-10.
- Extremely low annual mileage (4,391 mi/yr) for a 2012 car.
- Potential timing belt wear given age and low usage.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-10, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No recorded DANGEROUS defects or recurring failures in critical safety systems.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (4,391 mi/yr) suggests minimal use.
