AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2008 Vauxhall has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 26,086 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2025-01-23, which is highly irregular and raises significant questions.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Jun 2017 (128 mi/yr equivalent), followed by normal usage, but the 2023 service gap and inconsistent annual mileage suggest potential issues.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2025-01-23, a critical and unexplained discrepancy.
  • Recurring major failures in brakes (3), suspension (1), and emissions (1) across multiple tests.
  • High-concern advisories on all four brake discs (Jan 2024) and corroded subframe (Jan 2024).
  • Multiple recurring advisories on the same components (e.g., exhaust, sill, brake hose) across tests.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
  • Consistent annual mileage post-2017, averaging 9,088 miles/year, is normal for a UK car.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
