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 22,684 miles. While failures were promptly rectified, the consistent need for attention suggests a higher ongoing maintenance burden.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,340 miles per year, with a notable drop to just 1,047 miles between March 2024 and June 2025.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2024, Jun 2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring suspension advisories across 2 tests (Mar 2022, Mar 2024) suggest ongoing component wear.
  • Recurring emissions advisories across 2 tests (Mar 2022, Mar 2024) point to potential engine or exhaust system issues.
  • The 2014-03-26 failure for both front coil springs, a major structural component, highlights past suspension neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until June 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history, indicating no immediate safety hazards.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,340 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
  • All 3 failures were promptly rectified and passed on the same or subsequent day, showing responsible ownership.
