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 75% pass rate and 28,755 miles. While these were addressed, the recent advisories on critical components warrant careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,949 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 18-year history.
Things to check
- Recurring brake disc advisories (Jul 2022, Aug 2025) suggest ongoing wear.
- Offside Rear Hydraulic fluid leaking excessively (Aug 2020) is a significant safety concern.
- Nearside Front Coil spring fractured (Aug 2020) indicates suspension weakness.
- Recent advisories for brake hose and suspension arm (Aug 2025) signal immediate attention.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 08/20/2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent low annual mileage (5,949 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No major recurring failures in critical systems like brakes or steering.
- Immediate retests after failures demonstrate prompt owner action to rectify issues.
