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 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 32,975 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of recurring issues and recent advisories on brakes and suspension indicate significant upcoming repair costs.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,214 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the recent very low annual usage (e.g., 1,750 miles between Oct 2020 and Oct 2021) warrants investigation.
Things to check
- Recurring brake failures and advisories across 8 tests (Oct 2019, Nov 2020, Oct 2021) indicate systemic neglect.
- Recurring suspension failures and advisories across 8 tests (Oct 2019, Nov 2020, Oct 2021) point to chronic structural issues.
- Brake disc and hose advisories from Oct 2019 to Nov 2021 show a pattern of wear that was never fully resolved.
- The vehicle is currently Untaxed and has a Not Valid MOT, requiring immediate re-registration and a new MOT test.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,214 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
