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 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 15,705 miles. While mileage is low for its age, the consistent advisories for critical systems suggest potential future costs.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,535 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in 2024-2025.
Things to check
- Recurring major failures for lights (Oct 2020, 2021, 2022) and suspension (Sep 2022, Oct 2023).
- Extensive recurring advisories for tyres (15 items, 2019-2025) and engine oil (10 items, 2019-2025).
- Consistent advisories for exhaust (4 items, 2019-2025) and emissions (4 items, 2019-2025).
- Brake pad wear advisory (Sep 2017) and efficiency failure (Sep 2017) indicate brake system neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,535 mi/yr) for its 14-year lifespan.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
