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 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 25,608 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect on consumables and a recent MOT expiry date require careful consideration.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,906 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a 2022 MOT gap is noted.
Things to check
- Sep 2020 MOT: Recurring advisories for worn tyres and brake pads indicate a pattern of deferred maintenance.
- Mar 2023 MOT: Failed on lights, a safety-critical system, suggesting a lack of proactive care.
- Mar 2024 MOT: Passed but still carries advisories for tyres and brake pads, showing no resolution.
- MOT Expiry: 2025-03-26 — vehicle is currently not valid for MOT, requiring immediate re-test or new test.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Consistent Mileage: Mileage has tracked steadily over 14 years, averaging 10,906 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No Major Failures: Despite recurring advisories, the vehicle has not failed on major safety systems like brakes or steering.
- Euro NCAP Rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a strong safety record for this model.
