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 18 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 35,261 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing only 35,261 miles in 14 years, which is a major red flag for odometer fraud.

The vehicle shows only 35,261 miles in 14 years, with a suspiciously low 32 miles/year recorded before Dec 2020, indicating a high risk of odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage integrity is severely compromised: 35,261 miles in 14 years, with a 32 miles/year anomaly before Dec 2020.
  • Deeply flawed MOT history: 7 failures and 7 passes across 14 tests, indicating systemic neglect or fraud.
  • Recurring major failures: Suspension (2 major), Lights (2 major), Engine/Oil (1 major), and Brakes (1 major) show chronic issues.
  • Critical 2019 service gap: No MOT recorded for the entire year, suggesting periods of off-road use or deliberate evasion.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-14, indicating current roadworthiness despite history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
  • Consistent annual mileage of 8,221 miles/yr (UK average 8,000) post-2020, showing normal usage after initial anomaly.
