This 2012 Vauxhall has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 38,203 miles.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 7,965 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low annual usage of 5,991 miles in 2025.
Things to check
- Recurring steering failures (Jun 2017, Dec 2024) and advisories (Dec 2022) indicate ongoing suspension wear.
- Brake system advisories (Jun 2018, Dec 2024) are recurring, suggesting potential future maintenance.
- A 2020 service gap (no MOT recorded) is a concern for routine maintenance and potential neglect.
- Offside Rear Nail in tyre (Jun 2018) is a minor but unaddressed advisory.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until January 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (7,965 mi/yr) aligns with typical UK usage, not suspicious.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
- Recent MOT pass (Dec 2025) with no immediate retest required.
