AI verdict AVOID 39/100

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 20 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 14,085 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,844 miles per year, with a significant 12-year gap between 2015 and 2025 where only one MOT was recorded.

Things to check

  • Recurring subframe corrosion (Oct 2020, Jul 2022) is a major structural concern.
  • Recurring steering rack gaiter issues (Dec 2016, Apr 2026) indicate persistent safety-critical wear.
  • Recurring CV boot splits (Oct 2020, Jul 2022) suggest a pattern of suspension neglect.
  • Seven test failures across 16 MOTs (2012-2026) points to chronic maintenance issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until May 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tam
