This 2012 Vauxhall has 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 25,853 miles. However, a pattern of recurring minor and major failures across multiple systems, including tyres, lights, and wipers, indicates a history of reactive maintenance.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,519 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though a 2020 service gap is noted.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures and advisories (Jun 2019, Mar 2024) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
- Multiple recurring light failures (Jun 2018, Mar 2024) and wiper issues (Jun 2018, Mar 2024) point to a reactive owner.
- Exhaust flexi damage (Mar 2024 advisory) and worn brake disc (Mar 2024 advisory) indicate upcoming repair costs.
- A 2020 service gap in the MOT history is a concern for potential unaddressed maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-26, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age (7,519 mi/yr), suggesting light use.
