This 2012 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 32,801 miles. While mileage is low and consistent, the vehicle's maintenance history warrants careful investigation.
The mileage trajectory is consistent and low for its age, averaging 6,952 miles/year with no suspicious drops or spikes, though a 2025 service gap is noted.
Things to check
- Dangerous brake failure recorded on 2023-08-01, indicating a serious safety concern.
- Recurring tyre advisories (2022, 2023, 2024) escalated to a major failure in 2023, suggesting chronic wear.
- Recurring suspension coil spring failures (2023, 2021) indicate a pattern of structural neglect.
- Engine/Oil major failure on 2023-08-01, though resolved, points to potential underlying issues.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-12, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,952 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No recurring major failures on critical safety systems like steering or emissions.
- All past failures were immediately rectified and passed retests, showing responsive ownership.
