This 2012 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 44,353 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2026, the recurring dangerous defects and unexplained low usage make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle recorded suspiciously low mileage (12 mi/yr equivalent) from registration in Jan 2012 to Dec 2021, followed by normal usage from 2022 onwards.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Nov 2024): Rear Inner Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- DANGEROUS brake failures recorded in Dec 2019 and Dec 2023, indicating severe neglect.
- Mileage was suspiciously low (12 mi/yr equivalent) from Jan 2012 to Dec 2021, suggesting long periods of inactivity.
- Recurring major failures in lights and electrical systems across multiple tests.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until December 2026, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers is present in the provided data.
- The car has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, suggesting good overall safety features for its age.
