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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 20,825 miles. The recent advisory on front tyres and the history of exhaust leaks warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,520 miles per year, with a notable drop to 1,963 miles between Aug 2020 and Aug 2021, and another to 3,092 miles between Aug 2021 and Aug 2022.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 7 tests (Aug 2018, 2019, 2024, 2025) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring brake advisories across 4 tests (Aug 2018, 2019, 2024, 2025) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- Recurring emissions advisories across 3 tests (Aug 2019, 2023, 2025) escalating to major failures (Aug 2023) signals a persistent issue.
- The Aug 2025 MOT noted 'Front Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge BOTH' — an immediate concern.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 08/29/2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,520 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history, indicating no immediate safety hazards.
