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 20 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 37,776 miles. The vehicle's age and potential for accumulated wear warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,675 miles per year, with a notable drop in usage from 2019 onwards, but no suspicious drops or round numbers.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension advisories (e.g., coil spring, suspension arm) across multiple tests indicate ongoing wear.
  • Exhaust system advisories in 2023 and 2025 suggest a persistent issue that needs attention.
  • Engine oil and brake disc advisories in 2025 point to immediate maintenance needs.
  • Two failures in 2011 and 2025, despite retests, highlight past issues that required attention.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until November 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (5,675 miles/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
