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 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 38,236 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and repeated issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,346 miles/year, with a notable drop from 110k miles in June 2019 to 119k miles in December 2020, but no decreases or anomalies.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 9 tests (Dec 2020, Dec 2021, Dec 2022, Nov 2023, Nov 2024, Dec 2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • Exhaust emissions and leaks flagged in 7 separate tests (Dec 2020, Dec 2021, Dec 2022, Nov 2023, Nov 2024, Dec 2025) suggest a persistent issue.
  • Suspension components, including coil springs and ball joints, show recurring advisories (5 tests) and failures (Dec 2020, Dec 2021, Dec 2022).
  • Engine oil and coolant leak advisories (Dec 2020, Dec 2021, Dec 2022) are concerning for an 18-year-old vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,346 miles/year, well below UK average, suggests light use.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-05, offering immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
