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 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 32,721 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and repeated advisories warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (622 mi/yr equivalent) before Jul 2015, but normal usage (9,706 mi/yr) from 2015 onwards, with no anomalies.
Things to check
- Dangerous brake failure on 2015-03-30 (inner front pad less than 1.5mm).
- Recurring tyre advisories across 6 tests (Sep 2020, Aug 2024, Sep 2023, Sep 2022, Sep 2021, Sep 2020).
- Recurring brake system advisories across 4 tests (Sep 2022, Sep 2023, Sep 2020, Sep 2019).
- Major emissions failure on 2015-05-20.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-09, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since 2015.
- Consistent annual mileage since 2015, no suspicious drops.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2012 model is excellent.
