This 2012 Vauxhall has 13 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 38,707 miles. While there are historical timing chain issues, the recent clean passes and owner responsiveness are positive indicators.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,286 miles per year, with a notable increase in usage from 2022 onwards, but no suspicious drops or inconsistencies.
Things to check
- Timing chain issues reported by community; verify no outstanding recall or repair.
- Low annual mileage (5,286 mi/yr) may indicate limited use or long periods of inactivity.
- One major suspension failure (coil spring) in May 2023, though immediately rectified.
Working in its favour
- Excellent MOT record with 8 passes out of 9 tests and no dangerous defects.
- Consistent low mileage for its age, suggesting light use and less wear.
- Recent clean MOT passes in April 2025 and April 2026 with no advisories.
- Immediate retest and pass after the May 2023 suspension failure, showing owner care.
