This 2012 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 27,483 miles. While tyres have been a recurring advisory, the recent clean pass and valid MOT until 2026 are strong positives.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 7,889 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across multiple tests (May 2019, Oct 2021, Sep 2023, Sep 2024, Aug 2025) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- Offside Rear Outer Tyre had a dangerous cut in excess of requirements (Sep 2024), though fixed for the retest.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage (7,889 mi/yr) is well below UK average, suggesting light use.
- No major recurring failures or dangerous defects on the most recent MOT (Aug 2025).
- Valid MOT until August 2026 provides immediate peace of mind and avoids immediate retesting costs.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record for this model.
