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 19 MOT tests on record with a 63% pass rate and 18,056 miles. While many issues were immediately rectified, the repeated nature of these problems suggests a need for thorough investigation.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,628 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, though recent years show lower usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (Jun 2019, Aug 2024) and coil spring fractures (Jun 2019, Aug 2024) indicate structural neglect.
  • Brake system failures (Jun 2021, Jun 2018) and worn discs (Jun 2021) show a history of brake maintenance issues.
  • Tyre advisories (Jun 2022, Jul 2023) escalated to major failures (Jul 2023, Aug 2024), indicating chronic wear.
  • Recent MOT (Jul 2025) carries an advisory for a ball joint, a common wear item on older vehicles.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until August 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory over 14 years, averaging 9,628 miles/year, suggests normal usage.
  • All past failures and advisories were immediately rectified, demonstrating responsive ownership.
