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 85% pass rate and 22,476 miles. While it has a clean recent MOT pass, the history of dangerous tyre and brake failures, coupled with recurring advisories, indicates potential neglect.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 54,149 miles over 14 years, with a significant anomaly of only 571 miles covered between Dec 2019 and Dec 2021.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 54,149 miles over 14 years (typical: 87,786 mi, n=127 Vauxhall 1.2L).
- Dangerous defect: Tyres worn close to legal limit/worn on edge (Dec 2021) — immediate safety concern.
- Dangerous defect: Front Brakes imbalanced across an axle (Dec 2020) — critical safety system failure.
- Recurring advisories: Tyres (7 tests), shock absorber (3 tests), brake disc (2 tests) — consistent wear pattern.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-27, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring major failures since the dangerous brake and tyre issues were addressed.
- Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage suggests a single owner or careful use.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-designed vehicle.
