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 42,659 miles. While failures were addressed, the sheer volume of advisories and the age of the vehicle warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,076 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though annual mileage has decreased significantly since 2013.

Things to check

  • Offside Rear Brake disc worn, pitted or scored (Mar 2024) — indicates imminent brake replacement.
  • Nearside Rear Sub-frame pin or bush excessively worn (Mar 2025) — a major structural wear item.
  • Recurring brake hose corrosion (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2024) — persistent issue across multiple years.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Mar 2024, Mar 2025) — multiple instances of wear and damage.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2027 — no immediate retesting required.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory — no signs of odometer fraud or unusual spikes.
  • All past failures were immediately rectified and passed subsequent retests — demonstrates owner responsiveness.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a safe and well-designed vehicle.
