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 19 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 68,211 miles. The vehicle's consistent low annual mileage is overshadowed by significant, unresolved safety-critical issues.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 9,728 miles/year, but this is heavily outweighed by the extensive and unresolved MOT failures and advisories.

Things to check

  • Major suspension failures (Mar 2023, Mar 2024) and recurring advisories (Mar 2019, Mar 2025) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Major brake failures (Mar 2024, Mar 2025) and 21 advisories (Mar 2024, Mar 2025) point to systemic brake system issues.
  • Major windscreen failures (Mar 2023, Mar 2024) and 0 related advisories suggest a pattern of reactive repairs.
  • Recurring exhaust advisories (Mar 2019, Mar 2025) and subframe corrosion (Mar 2026) are high-risk items.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 9,728 miles/year.
  • MOT valid until March 2027, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • No recent major failures or advisories from the last MOT test.
