2012 Vauxhall Antara 2.2L Diesel · SH62 AEB

The vehicle appears to be in a stable condition regarding its MOT compliance, with the most recent test on 5 January 2024 at 115,687 miles resulting in a clean pass with no defects. While the record shows two failures in late 2022 and late 2023, these did not result in permanent advisories or long-term recurring issues. The lack of recorded defects in the most recent entry suggests that previous failures were likely resolved through immediate remedial action rather than indicating a chronic mechanical trend. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,263 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 106,027 miles in January 2022 to 115,687 miles in January 2024. This steady increment suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation, which helps mitigate the risk of seized components or perished rubber seals often found in low-mileage, high-age vehicles. Because the MOT history shows no specific mechanical failures or advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, the record does not highlight any immediate structural or braking concerns. However, the presence of two failures without listed defects in the digital record is unusual and suggests the vehicle may have required minor adjustments to lighting, wipers, or tyres to meet the standard. A physical inspection should focus on these consumable items to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. A thorough inspection of the underbody for corrosion is recommended given the vehicle's age, despite the clean MOT history. While the mileage is well within normal parameters, the buyer should verify the service history to ensure that oil changes and fluid flushes have been performed regularly to protect the engine and drivetrain. The current MOT trend indicates a vehicle that is being maintained sufficiently to pass inspections, but a manual check of the brake pads and tyre tread depth is prudent.
