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 92% pass rate and 16,737 miles. However, a significant recurring emissions issue and a recent MOT failure for emissions, combined with a 2019 service gap, warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 7,157 miles/year, but a significant spike in usage (19,982 miles) occurred between March 2022 and March 2023.
Things to check
- Major emissions failure on 2025-09-30, previously advised on
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-02, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,157 miles/year, no fraud detected.
- No recurring major structural failures (suspension, brakes, steering).
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2012 model.
