This 2012 Vauxhall has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 20,966 miles. The timing belt failure is particularly critical for a 2012 petrol engine.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,381 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a 2023 MOT gap is a concern.
Things to check
- 2023 MOT gap: No MOT recorded between 2022-10-10 and 2024-06-23, indicating potential SORN or off-road status.
- Timing belt failure: Major failure recorded on 2024-06-24 for the timing belt, a critical component for a 2012 petrol engine.
- Low annual mileage: Average of 6,381 miles/year is significantly below UK average, suggesting infrequent use or long periods of inactivity.
- No recent MOT: The vehicle currently has no valid MOT, expiring 2025-06-23, requiring immediate re-MOT.
Working in its favour
- Consistent mileage: Mileage trajectory shows no anomalies, consistent with low annual usage.
- No recurring failures: All MOT failures were isolated and not repeated on the same system.
- Recent clean pass: The 2024-06-24 retest PASS indicates the timing belt failure was addressed.
- Euro NCAP rating: 5-star safety rating for 2017 model, indicating good structural integrity.
