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 18 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 17,735 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of tyre advisories and a dangerous brake failure, combined with suspiciously low mileage, warrants a thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Aug 2024, averaging only 551 miles/year, followed by a significant drop to 1,710 miles/year between Aug 2024 and Jan 2026.

Things to check

  • Dangerous brake failure recorded on 2015-03-11, indicating a serious safety concern.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across multiple tests (e.g., Aug 2022, Jan 2026) suggest chronic wear issues.
  • Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage (551 mi/yr equivalent) before Aug 2024, followed by a significant drop to 1,710 mi/yr.
  • Dangerous tyre defect recorded on 2015-03-11, indicating a critical safety failure.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until January 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No recurring major mechanical failures (e.g., engine, gearbox) in the MOT history.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases after the initial low period, showing regular use.
