This 2012 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 27,333 miles. While it shows very low annual mileage, the recent MOT pass in January 2026 is a strong positive.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,249 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years from 1,603 miles (2024) to 706 miles (2025).
Things to check
- Very low annual mileage (5,249 mi/yr) suggests minimal use, which can lead to fluid degradation.
- Two major failures (Feb 2020, Jan 2026) and one minor failure (Jan 2025) for lights, indicating past maintenance gaps.
- Recurring brake disc advisories (Jan 2025) and subframe corrosion (Jan 2025) suggest ongoing wear items.
Working in its favour
- Solid MOT record with 8 passes out of 10 tests, showing no dangerous defects.
- Recent MOT pass in January 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for the next 12 months.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,249 mi/yr) indicates minimal wear and tear on components.
- No recurring major failures or structural issues, only minor advisories and one-time failures.
