2012 Vauxhall Antara 2.4L Diesel · CX12 UBR

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 1 October 2025 at 116,028 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to January 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a vehicle that is kept in a state of readiness. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a 14 year old car. Between the January 2022 test at 95,359 miles and the October 2025 test at 116,028 miles, the vehicle covered 20,669 miles over approximately three and a half years. This averages to roughly 5,900 miles per year in the most recent period, which is slightly lower than the lifetime average of 8,288 miles per year. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of neglect or sudden heavy commercial use. The absence of any advisories over five consecutive tests is rare for a vehicle of this age. Usually, a 2012 Antara would show flags for suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks by this stage of its life. The lack of recorded faults suggests the previous owner has proactively replaced consumables before they reached the failure threshold. A physical inspection should still focus on common age related weaknesses not always captured by a standard MOT. Check the chassis and sills for surface corrosion and inspect the condition of the rubber seals and interior plastics. While the record is clean, verifying the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals is essential to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean MOT data.
