AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Chevrolet has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 14,412 miles. While recent tests show resolution, the sheer number of past failures and advisories indicates a vehicle with high ongoing maintenance needs.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Sep 2022 (17 mi/yr equivalent), followed by normal usage, with no anomalies in the last 3 years.
Things to check
- Recurring major failures in brakes (6 times) and suspension (4 times) across multiple tests.
- Major failures in steering (2 times), tyres (2 times), and emissions (1 time) indicate widespread neglect.
- Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Sep 2022 (17 mi/yr equivalent) suggests periods of inactivity.
- The vehicle is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 08/31/2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No mileage anomalies detected in the last 3 years, indicating consistent recent use.
- All major failures were promptly rectified and passed retests, showing responsive ownership.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
