2012 Vauxhall Antara 2.2L Diesel · NX12 AAU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent inspection. On 14 January 2025 at 162,680 miles, the Antara achieved a clean pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure noted on the same day. This suggests that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying immediate issues to ensure the vehicle remained legal. The lack of advisories on the latest certificate indicates that the primary mechanical and safety components met the minimum standard at the time of the test. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per annum. Between December 2022 and January 2024, the vehicle covered 11,154 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The subsequent interval of 6,654 miles between January 2024 and January 2025 indicates a slight drop in annual usage. This regularity suggests the car has not sat idle for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake-related issues typically associated with stationary vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas common to this model at this mileage. Given the 162,680-mile mark, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these components often fatigue after such extensive travel. While the MOT record does not highlight structural failures, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look for corrosion on the underbody and exhaust system. Additionally, verify the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear to ensure that the clean pass in early 2025 reflects the current mechanical state of the stopping hardware.
