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 22,133 miles. However, a pattern of recurring tyre and brake issues, alongside a recent suspension advisory, warrants careful consideration.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,216 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures (Aug 2021, Jul 2020) and brake advisories (Dec 2016, Dec 2017) indicate a history of wear-and-tear maintenance.
- Offside Front Lower Suspension component ball joint dust cover advisory (Aug 2025) is a recent concern that needs immediate attention.
- The 2017-12-13 MOT failure for restricted N/S/R brake caliper free movement is a significant safety issue, though immediately rectified.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-26 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age (7,216 mi/yr) suggests regular, not erratic, use.
- No major structural or engine failures recorded in the MOT history.
