This 2012 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 13,785 miles. While many failures were immediately rectified, the consistent advisories for tyres and brakes suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,942 miles per year, which is below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Sep 2018, Sep 2021) indicate persistent wear.
- Brake system failures and advisories in 2019, 2021, and 2023 suggest ongoing brake maintenance needs.
- Offside Front Front wheel bearing failure on 2017-08-24 is a significant safety concern.
- Offside Rear Shock absorbers had a serious fluid leak advisory on 2019-09-03.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-20 provides immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (4,942 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- All major failures were immediately rectified, showing responsive owner action.
