2012 Vauxhall Antara 2.2L Diesel · FT62 GVX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of consistent passing results. The most recent test on 31 October 2024 at 121,794 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical or safety concerns have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in September 2022, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring MOT-related failures. The mileage profile is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per annum. Between September 2021 and October 2024, the car covered 37,388 miles, which represents a steady usage pattern. A notable anomaly occurred in late September 2023 when the car failed its test at 112,956 miles, but it successfully re-tested just two weeks later at 112,973 miles. This deat turnaround suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying immediate faults rather than allowing them to persist as long-term issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and braking system, as high-mileage SUVs often suffer from worn coil springs and seized caliper sliders. While the recent history is clean of structural corrosion, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look for rust on the underbody and the integrity of rubber bushings at the control arm mounting points. Given the 121,794-mile reading, verifying the absence of fluid leaks and the condition of the drivetrain bushings is essential to ensure the lower mileage has not masked hidden mechanical wear.
