This 2012 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 19,119 miles. The timing belt is a significant upcoming maintenance cost.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,609 miles per year, with a notable drop in usage from 2023 onwards, but no suspicious readings or decreases.
Things to check
- 2018-01-11 FAILED MOT for 'Fuel cap/sealing device sealing washer deteriorated' (PRS: 7.2.4c).
- Recurring Fuel System advisories (3 instances) across 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 tests.
- Offside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit (Jan 2026) — monitor for imminent replacement.
- Front Brakes imbalanced (Jan 2025) — while fixed, this indicates past neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-23, offering peace of mind for over 3 years.
- Consistent low mileage (5,609 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects in the MOT history.
