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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 14,688 miles. The recurring tyre and suspension issues, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, present a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 42,864 miles over 14 years, with a significant 10-year gap in MOT history (2012-2022) and a 10-year-old MOT from 2015-02-21, indicating severe data inconsistencies or potential fraud.
Things to check
- Critical mileage anomaly: 42,864 miles over 14 years (Jan 2012 to Apr 2026) — well below UK average.
- Severe MOT history gap: No MOT recorded between 2015-02-21 and 2022-02-10, a 7-year period.
- Recurring tyre failures: Multiple tyre advisories (Feb 2023) escalated to major failures (Jun 2025).
- Recurring suspension issues: Track rod end ball joint advisory (Apr 2020) escalated to major failure (May 2021).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since the last pass in April 2026.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
- Consistent annual mileage (very low) suggests light, non-abusive use.
