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 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 43,100 miles. The mileage trajectory shows low annual usage for its age, which is a significant concern.
The vehicle shows very low annual mileage for its age, averaging only 6,366 miles/year, with a suspiciously low 13 miles/year recorded before June 2018, and a 3,999-mile retest anomaly on 14 Jun 2018.
Things to check
- Dangerous steering failure on 14 Jun 2018 (MOT 45,595 mi) — critical safety history.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 3 tests (Jun 2018, Oct 2022, Oct 2025) — consistent wear pattern.
- Unusually low mileage for a 2012 car (43,100 mi over 14 years) — potential for long-term
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 18 Oct 2026 — no immediate retesting required.
- No recurring major failures on critical safety systems (brakes, suspension) — only minor advisories.
- Consistent annual mileage since 2018, averaging 6,366 miles/year — no recent spikes or drops.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — high safety standard for its era.
