This 2012 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 39,373 miles. However, a significant history of corrosion on the subframe and recurring advisories on critical components like tyres and shock absorbers warrant careful consideration.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,807 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage.
Things to check
- Offside Front Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened (Mar 2022) — a major structural concern.
- Offside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (Mar 2022) — indicates significant suspension wear.
- Recurring advisories on tyres (Mar 2025) and shock absorbers (Mar 2022) — consistent wear items.
- Brake system advisories (Mar 2020) and a major failure (Mar 2020) — multiple issues with critical safety components.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027 — no immediate retest costs.
- Consistent mileage trajectory — no odometer fraud detected.
- No recurring major failures in recent years — issues were addressed.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — high safety standard for its era.
