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 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 36,627 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect in critical areas warrants a thorough inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,313 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though recent annual usage has been very low (e.g., 1,028 miles in 2025).
Things to check
- Engine oil advisory recurring across 7 tests (Aug 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) — persistent issue.
- Nearside Rear Shock absorber has a serious fluid leak (Sep 2015, 2016, 2018, 2020) — chronic defect.
- Exhaust emissions exceeded limits (Aug 2018, 2019, 2020) — repeated emissions failures.
- Brake system failures and advisories (Aug 2018, 2019, 2020, 2023, 2024, 2026) — extensive wear history.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-11, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded in the last 12 months.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good inherent safety.
