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 21 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 29,171 miles. While many advisories were addressed, the repeated nature of these faults suggests ongoing maintenance needs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing normal usage of 7,365 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, including a period of low annual usage (2020-2024) that is typical for older vehicles.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (12 instances) across 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (2 instances) in 2019 and 2020.
  • Recurring seatbelt and subframe advisories (2 instances) in 2019 and 2020.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • All major failures were immediately rectified, indicating responsive ownership.
