This 2008 Vauxhall has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 39,856 miles. The recent suspension failure and uneven tyre wear advisories also warrant careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent low annual usage, averaging 9,340 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 39,856 miles recorded by Dec 2016.
Things to check
- Major suspension failure: Offside Rear coil spring broken (Dec 2014) — indicates past neglect.
- Timing belt/chain history: Community reports of head gasket, timing chain, and cambelt issues — high wear risk for 18-year-old Vauxhall.
- Uneven tyre wear: Front tyres wearing on inner edge (Dec 2014) — suggests alignment or suspension issues.
- Tax status: Vehicle is currently Untaxed (as of data) — verify current status with DVLA.
Working in its favour
- Consistent low mileage: 39,856 miles over 18 years, well below UK average, indicating light use.
- Clean recent MOT: Passed all subsequent tests without failures since Dec 2014, showing current roadworthiness.
- No dangerous defects: No DANGEROUS-rated defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP rating: 5-star safety rating (2017) — excellent for a 2008 Vauxhall.
