This 2012 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 25,923 miles. The mileage anomaly alone is a critical red flag for potential odometer tampering.
A critical 49,085-mile decrease occurred between Oct 2020 (138,804 mi) and Sep 2021 (89,719 mi), strongly suggesting odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Oct 2020 (138,804 mi) and Sep 2021 (89,719 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
- Mileage decreased by 49,085 miles between Oct 2020 (138,804 mi) and Sep 2021 (89,719 mi).
- Engine/Oil: 2 major failures and 3 related advisories across multiple tests.
- Emissions: 2 major failures and 2 related advisories across multiple tests.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-09, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring failures on the same system (e.g., brakes, steering).
- Consistent annual mileage before the 2020 anomaly (7,993 mi/yr average).
- No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (Oct 2025).
