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 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 36,745 miles. While many failures were promptly rectified, the repeated nature of these problems warrants a thorough inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,466 miles/year, with a notable spike of 21,297 miles between Sep 2024 and Sep 2025, but no decreases or anomalies.
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories (2013, 2014, 2015) and a 2015 failure indicate ongoing wear.
- Multiple suspension advisories (2013, 2014) and a 2013 failure point to consistent component stress.
- Engine oil advisory noted in 4 separate tests (2013, 2014, 2015, 2025) suggests a chronic issue.
- A 2015 MOT failure for a fractured offside front coil spring, a serious suspension component.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-25, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
- All major failures were promptly rectified and retested, showing responsible owner action.
- No DANGEROUS defects are currently outstanding from the latest MOT test in Sep 2025.
