2012 Vauxhall Antara 2.2L Diesel · SM12 ABX

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean record across the last five inspections. The most recent test conducted on 4 March 2026 at 134,443 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owner has proactively addressed mechanical issues before they resulted in an MOT failure, which is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. A notable gap in data exists between February 2023 and March 2023, where the car covered only six miles, suggesting a re-test or a short period of standing. Since the March 2024 test, the vehicle has covered 29,063 miles in two years, moving from 105,380 to the current 134,443. This steady usage pattern suggests regular operation which helps prevent seals and braking components from seizing due to prolonged inactivity. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components typical of a 14-year-old Antara. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber or cracking, as these often degrade without triggering an MOT failure. Given the mileage, checking the condition of the brake discs for thinning and the thickness of the pads is essential, as the MOT only tests for significant imbalance rather than general wear. A thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is also advised to ensure the integrity remains sound despite the clean digital record.
