This 2008 Vauxhall has 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 22,359 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of issues suggests potential neglect.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,128 miles per year, with a significant 3-year gap in MOT history (2020) and inconsistent mileage readings.
Things to check
- Recurring minor failures and advisories on lights and brakes across multiple MOTs.
- Extremely low annual mileage (4,128 mi/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle.
- A 3-year MOT gap (2020) is highly unusual and requires a clear explanation.
- The 2011-12-12 test failed for insufficient washer liquid, a basic safety item, and passed the same day.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory over its 18-year lifespan.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
