This 2008 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 35,170 miles. However, the vehicle's extremely low annual mileage (5,414 miles/yr) and a 5-year gap in MOT records present significant concerns.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,414 miles per year, with a significant 5-year gap in MOT records (2017-2022) and a 3-year gap (2022-2024).
Things to check
- Extremely low annual mileage (5,414 mi/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle.
- Major failure for Offside Front Coil spring fractured (Sep 2023) indicates suspension wear.
- Major failure for Offside Front Headlamp aim (Sep 2023) and Windscreen (Sep 2023) shows past neglect.
- No MOT recorded for 2022 and 2024, a 5-year gap, is highly unusual.
Working in its favour
- Recent clean MOT pass on 2025-04-10, valid until 2026-04-10, confirms current roadworthiness.
- No recurring major failures on the same system across multiple tests.
- Consistent mileage trajectory, despite low annual usage, shows no suspicious drops or spikes.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-designed and safe vehicle.
