This 2012 Vauxhall has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 13,957 miles. The recurring suspension and tyre advisories, coupled with a recent sub-frame corrosion advisory, indicate significant underlying wear and neglect.
The vehicle shows only 13,957 miles over 14 years, averaging 2,334 miles per year, which is a significant anomaly from the UK average of 8,000 miles per year and raises serious odometer integrity concerns.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Only 13,957 miles recorded over 14 years, far below UK average.
- Recurring suspension issues: Multiple advisories and failures for corroded subframe, fractured coil springs, and track rod ball joint play.
- Recurring tyre wear: Five separate tyre advisories for cracking/perishing across all four wheels (Oct 2018, Oct 2019, Sep 2021).
- Recurring brake disc wear: Three separate brake disc advisories for wear/pitting (Oct 2018, Oct 2019, Sep 2021).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-21, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures, suggesting current issues are being addressed.
- Consistent retest history shows owner's diligence in rectifying defects.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe and reliable vehicle.
