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 24 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 59,229 miles. The recent MOT expiry date of 2026-03-04 is a critical contradiction to the 'Not valid' status, indicating a severe data anomaly or administrative error.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage until 2024, but a significant drop to 1,461 miles/year between Feb 2024 and Mar 2025, followed by an even lower 438 miles/year from Mar 2025 to Mar 2026, indicating a severe and unexplained change in usage patterns.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Mar 2026): Front Power steering inoperative and steering adversely affected (2.1.5 (c) (ii)
  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres failed 3 times (Feb 2019, Feb 2020, Feb 2023) — immediate safety risk.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Suspension failed (Feb 2023) — critical structural integrity.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Steering failed (Feb 2023) — fundamental safety system.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 9 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP: 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety rating for its era.
  • MILEAGE vs UK AVERAGE: Normal usage — 8,853 miles/yr (UK average: 8,000).
  • MILEAGE TRAJECTORY: Consistent high mileage (134k by 2019) initially.
