This 2012 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 15,403 miles. While it has a clean recent MOT record, the mileage pattern raises serious concerns about its true condition and potential hidden issues.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 15,403 miles in its first 10 years (Jan 2012 to Sep 2022), followed by unusually high jumps of 10,863 miles (Jun 2023) and 11,641 miles (Jul 2024), indicating a significant and unexplained mileage discrepancy.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 3,626 miles/yr (typical 8,000/yr).
- Critical mileage anomaly: 15,403 miles in first 10 years, then 10,863/11,641 miles in subsequent years.
- Suspiciously low mileage before Jul 2022 (146 mi/yr equivalent) suggests potential odometer fraud.
- Unusually high mileage jumps before Jun 2023 (11,075 mi/yr) and Jul 2024 (11,452 mi/yr) are 3.1–3.2× this car's average.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-23, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring major failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or steering.
- Recent MOT pass (Sep 2025) with no current advisories or failures.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for its age.
