This 2012 Vauxhall has 10 MOT tests on record with a 90% pass rate and 16,445 miles. However, a significant mileage anomaly and a history of tyre-related issues warrant careful investigation.
The mileage trajectory shows a consistent increase, but a major anomaly occurred between Sep 2018 and Oct 2021, with a 24,566-mile jump that is 4.3 times the car's average annual usage.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 24,566-mile jump between Sep 2018 and Oct 2021 (4.3× average).
- Major tyre failure: Nearside Rear Tyre had a cut in Sep 2018, indicating poor maintenance.
- Service gaps: No MOT recorded in 2023 and 2024, suggesting periods of off-road use or SORN.
Working in its favour
- Strong recent MOT history: 6 of 7 tests passed, with the last test in Jul 2025 showing no failures.
- No dangerous defects: All MOT failures and advisories were minor and rectified immediately, indicating responsible ownership.
- Consistent recent mileage: After the initial anomaly, the car's annual mileage has been consistent and reasonable.
- Euro NCAP rating: 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a high level of safety for its time.
