This 2008 Vauxhall has 17 MOT tests on record with a 94% pass rate and 8,594 miles. The very low annual mileage for its age raises significant concerns about its true condition and potential hidden issues.
The vehicle shows extremely low usage, averaging 2,634 miles/year, with a suspiciously low 218 miles recorded between April 2012 and April 2013, and a significant drop in annual mileage from 2013 onwards.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below average: 48,367 miles over 18 years, indicating minimal use.
- Mileage anomaly: 218 miles recorded between April 2012 and April 2013, suggesting potential odometer issues.
- Single unexplained failure: May 2020 MOT failed, but no defect details were provided by DVSA.
Working in its favour
- Strong MOT record: 8 of 9 tests passed, with no dangerous defects recorded.
- Long MOT validity: Current MOT is valid until May 2027, offering peace of mind for two years.
- No recurring major failures: The single failure in 2020 was not repeated in subsequent tests.
- Consistent recent passes: The vehicle has passed all tests since May 2020 without significant issues.
