AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2012 Chevrolet has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 29,003 miles. The low annual mileage for its age, combined with a pattern of neglect, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,330 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2021 (2,589 miles in 12 months).

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jun 2024): Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick Both Sides (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS tyre failure on 2023-06-16, immediately followed by a PASS.
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2024-06-15, indicating severe neglect of critical safety systems.
  • Recurring suspension advisories (2019, 2023, 2024) and engine oil advisories (2019, 2024) across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • MOT valid until 2026-06-15, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures.
  • No major structural corrosion or chassis issues flagged in MOT history.
