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 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 2,353 miles. While recent advisories were addressed, the history of major defects warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual usage, averaging only 4,961 miles per year, with a significant 14-year gap from registration to its first MOT in March 2019.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (coil spring, shock absorber) in 2022 and 2023 indicate structural neglect.
- Steering major failure in 2022, followed by an advisory for excessive play in 2023, points to ongoing alignment issues.
- Brake major failure in 2021, with 4 subsequent advisories for wear, suggests a pattern of brake system wear.
- Very low mileage (4,961 miles/yr) for a 2012 vehicle, with a 14-year gap to first MOT, raises odometer fraud concerns.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until June 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded, indicating no immediate life-threatening safety failures.
- Consistent annual mileage increases since first MOT in 2019, despite being very low.
- Recent MOT pass in June 2025 shows the vehicle is currently roadworthy after addressing issues.
