2012 Chevrolet Captiva 2.0L Diesel · MA12 AAF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a successful test on 21 November 2025 at 125,976 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recent period of instability, as the vehicle underwent two failed inspections within a single week in November 2025. While the most recent result indicates the vehicle has been brought back to a roadworthy standard, the rapid succession of failures at 125,758 and 125,642 miles suggests a sudden onset of defects that required immediate attention to clear the MOT record. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age. The record shows a steady increase from 102,368 miles in November 2023 to 125,976 miles in November 2025. This represents approximately 11,800 miles covered over two years, which aligns with the expected annual usage for a 14-year-old vehicle. The data shows no evidence of long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway usage that would typically cause premature wear on the drivetrain or suspension components. A physical inspection is required to identify the specific issues that caused the two failures in November 2025. Since the record does not specify the nature of these failures, a buyer must verify the condition of common Chevrolet Captiva wear items. Focus should be placed on the suspension system, specifically the coil springs and control arm bushes, as well as the brake discs and calipers for signs of binding or excessive corrosion. The recent volatility in the MOT history means the vehicle may have recently undergone repairs to address emissions or lighting issues. It is advisable to check the service history to see if these failures were resolved through component replacement or if they were minor adjustments. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for structural integrity and underside corrosion remains a priority during a hands-on evaluation.
