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 69% pass rate and 18,460 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of repeated failures and advisories on critical safety components warrants a thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,618 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2019 and 2023, suggesting periods of inactivity or light use.
Things to check
- Recurring DANGEROUS tyre failures in Aug 2018 and Sep 2021 indicate a history of poor maintenance.
- Multiple coil spring failures (Aug 2018, Sep 2021) and advisories (Feb 2023, Feb 2024) suggest a structural weakness.
- The 2022 MOT gap, combined with low annual mileage, raises questions about the vehicle's recent history and maintenance.
- Consistent failures in the lighting system (Aug 2018, Sep 2021) and exhaust (Aug 2018, Sep 2021) point to a pattern of neglect.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until February 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation is present in the MOT history.
- The car has consistently passed retests after failures, indicating issues were addressed.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
