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 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 37,762 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2027, the recurring issues and high mileage for its age present significant risks.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (652 mi/yr equivalent) from 2012 to 2016, followed by high annual usage (up to 20,816 mi in 2020) that is inconsistent with typical UK usage patterns.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2015-11-12, indicating severe safety neglect.
  • Five major failures across brakes, windscreen, tyres, and lights from 2015 to 2025.
  • Recurring advisories on brakes, wipers, and lights across multiple tests.
  • High mileage (174,053 mi) for a 2012 vehicle, suggesting heavy commercial use.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-02-16, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (Feb 2026).
  • Consistent retesting and immediate repairs of failures, showing responsive ownership.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2012 model is excellent.
