This 2012 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 53,035 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of recurring advisories and failures warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 15,965 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage between 2019 (161,191 mi) and 2021 (174,678 mi), and a further drop from 2023 (195,450 mi) to 2024 (203,445 mi).
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories (Jun 2018, Mar 2025, Mar 2026) indicate ongoing wear.
- Recurring suspension advisories (Mar 2023, Mar 2024) suggest persistent issues.
- Recurring engine oil advisories (Jun 2018, Mar 2025, Mar 2026) point to a history of neglect.
- Unusually large mileage difference (629 mi) between retest pair on 30 Jun 2017.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent mileage trajectory, no evidence of odometer fraud.
- Immediate retests for failures, showing prompt owner action.
