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 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 18,494 miles. While there are past advisories and one failure, the recent clean passes and low annual usage make it a viable purchase.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,078 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine light usage.
Things to check
- Two MOT failures (Aug 2021, Aug 2024) with no detailed defect breakdowns.
- Recurring 'Engine oil' advisory noted in 3 separate MOT tests (Aug 2020, Aug 2021, Aug 2025).
- Low annual mileage (5,078 mi/yr) may indicate infrequent use, potentially affecting component wear.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,078 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects found in the MOT history.
- Recent clean MOT passes (Aug 2025) with no current advisories listed as failures.
