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 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 31,080 miles. The vehicle's low mileage and SORN status require careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,230 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but annual usage significantly dropped to ~1,000 miles between 2018 and 2020.

Things to check

  • Oct 2023: Anti-roll bar link and shock absorber advisories indicate significant suspension wear.
  • Oct 2023: Recurring brake and tyre advisories across multiple tests signal chronic neglect.
  • Oct 2023: Engine/Oil advisory noted, a rare but critical system for a 2012 diesel.
  • Oct 2023: SORN status means no current MOT, requiring immediate re-registration and test.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no fraud indicators.
  • Recent clean MOT pass in Oct 2023, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects flagged in recent tests.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating for 2017 model provides good safety baseline.
