This 2012 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 33,006 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 2019 service gap and unresolved timing belt issues, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows very low annual mileage averaging 6,624 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage between 2017 and 2021 (e.g., 53,892 miles in Sep 2017 to 65,570 miles in Jun 2020).
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2018-09-12 (57,055 mi).
- Recurring major engine failures on 2018-09-12 and 2024-07-01.

- Recurring major headlamp failures on 2020-06-01 and 2024-07-01.
Working in its favour
- Current valid MOT until 2026-07-07, indicating recent roadworthiness checks.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,624 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
