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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 14,829 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 2015-03-17 MOT failure, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before March 2021 (540 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant increase in annual usage, which is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure recorded on 2015-03-17 MOT test.
- Suspension arm excessively worn (MAJOR) on 2017-03-15 MOT test.
- Tyre worn close to legal limit (ADVISORY) on 2025-10-15 MOT test.
- Engine oil advisory noted on 2025-10-15 MOT test.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-07, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent major failures or dangerous defects since 2015-03-17.
- Consistent annual mileage increases after initial low usage.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety.
