This 2012 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 26,383 miles. The recurring nature of suspension issues and a recent timing belt advisory warrant a thorough inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,595 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though the 2015-06-17 MOT failure for a broken coil spring is a major structural concern.
Things to check
- 2015-06-17 MOT failure: Nearside Rear coil spring broken (2.4.C.1a) — a major structural defect.
- 2024-10-31 advisory: Timing belt wear — a critical wear item for a 2012 diesel engine.
- Recurring suspension failures: 2015-06-17 (coil spring) and 2022-10-31 (suspension) — indicates ongoing wear.
- 2020-11-30 and 2021-10-30 retests: Immediate retests after failures suggest minimal repairs.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-23, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory: 9,595 miles/year, no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
