AI verdict CAUTION 70/100
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 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 20,057 miles. While these were addressed, the consistent need for maintenance suggests a higher future cost burden.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,445 miles per year, with a notable dip to 2,110 miles between July 2024 and July 2025.
Things to check
- Recurring coil spring failures (2017, 2023, 2024) indicate ongoing suspension wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories (2016, 2020, 2024) suggest a history of poor tyre maintenance.
- Recurring brake disc advisories (2015, 2016, 2023, 2024) point to a pattern of brake component wear.
- The 2017 MOT failure for an insecure battery, combined with a broken nearside rear coil spring, highlights past neglect.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until July 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,445 miles/year) suggests light use and potential longevity.
