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 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 39,227 miles. The vehicle's extremely low annual mileage (4,381 miles/year) for an 18-year-old car, combined with a 2024 service gap, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,381 miles per year, with a significant 4,328-mile increase between May 2019 and December 2020, and only 2,281 miles between December 2023 and March 2025.

Things to check

  • Dangerous brake imbalance failure on 2011-04-05 at 39,227 miles.
  • Four major MOT failures across 11 tests (2011, 2020, 2022, 2023, 2025).
  • Extremely low annual mileage (4,381 miles/year) for an 18-year-old vehicle.
  • Significant 4,328-mile increase between May 2019 and December 2020, then only 2,281 miles.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring major structural failures (e.g., chassis, suspension) identified.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2008 model is excellent.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided data.
