This 2012 Vauxhall has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 24,009 miles. While it has passed most tests, the low annual usage and repeated failures warrant a thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage, averaging only 4,837 miles per year, with a significant drop to 127 miles per year between Sep 2023 and Sep 2024, raising odometer integrity concerns.
Things to check

- Recurring headlamp issues: Major failure (Jun 2018) and advisories (Jun 2018, Jun 2019), suggesting electrical system wear.
- Suspiciously low mileage: Average of 4,837 miles/year, with a 712-mile increase between Sep 2023 and Sep 2024, suggesting potential odometer fraud.
- Rear brake disc wear: Advisory on 27 Jun 2018, indicating a potential need for replacement soon.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-06, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No major structural failures or recurring suspension issues, suggesting the chassis is sound.
