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 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 22,208 miles. While it has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, the pattern of neglect in critical areas demands thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,537 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2018 to 2022 (e.g., +2,356 miles in 14 months from Apr 2022 to May 2022).

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (7 tests) escalated to major failures (e.g., May 2024).
  • Recurring suspension advisories (e.g., Jun 2018, May 2021) escalated to major failures (e.g., May 2021).
  • Recurring brake advisories (e.g., Jun 2018, May 2021) escalated to major failures (e.g., May 2021).
  • Major failure for Nearside Rear Shock absorbers leak (May 2021) after advisory in Jun 2018.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until June 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent low mileage (5,537 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe, well-designed vehicle.
