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 67% pass rate and 51,615 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2025-08-29, which is highly irregular.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,506 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the MOT history shows significant gaps and unexplained test dates.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2025-08-29, a critical and unexplained anomaly.
  • Recurring suspension failures (2016, 2022) and 10+ advisories indicate chronic neglect.
  • Recurring lighting failures (6+ tests) and 8+ minor defects point to systemic electrical issues.
  • Consistent mileage (8,506 mi/yr) is normal, but combined with the MOT issues, it's a red flag for a well-used vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,506 miles per year, aligning with UK average.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating good structural integrity.
