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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 14,235 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect and potential underlying issues warrants extreme caution.
The vehicle shows a significant mileage anomaly: 14,235 miles in Jan 2011, then 27,323 miles in Dec 2011, and only 2,759 miles in 18 months from Nov 2022 to Nov 2023, indicating a potential odometer fraud or a period of inactivity.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 14,235 miles in Jan 2011, then 27,323 miles in Dec 2011, and only 2,759 miles in 18 months from Nov 2022 to Nov 2023.
- Recurring major failures: Brakes (2 failures, 15 advisories), Emissions (1 failure, 4 advisories), and Suspension (1 failure, 11 advisories).
- Recent MOT expiry: 2023-11-10, but the vehicle is currently untaxed and not validly MOT'd, requiring immediate re-registration.
- High-likelihood of timing belt failure: 18-year-old diesel with no service history, common failure point for this model.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a safe and well-designed vehicle.
- Consistent annual mileage: Average 8,821 miles/year, well below UK average, suggesting light use.
- No recent MOT failures: The most recent MOT (Nov 2022) passed, showing the vehicle was roadworthy at that time.
- Long service intervals: Diesel engines typically require servicing every 12 months or 12,000 miles, aligning with the car's history.
