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 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 15,803 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the severe underuse combined with recurring tyre and lighting issues makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows only 15,803 miles over 14 years, a significant anomaly from the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, suggesting potential odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Aug 2025): Front Brakes imbalanced across an axle by more than 50% 79% o/s lagging (1.2.1 (
  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 15,803 miles over 14 years (typical: 87,786 miles, n=127 Vauxhall 2012s).
  • First MOT test on 2015-10-15 at 15,803 miles is highly irregular for a 2012 vehicle.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (22 items) and lighting failures across

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-21, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures, suggesting current issues are being addressed.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
