AI verdict CAUTION 65/100
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 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 41,009 miles. While these were addressed, the sheer volume of advisories across multiple tests indicates a vehicle that requires careful pre-purchase inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,946 miles/year, with a notable drop in annual usage from 2019 onwards (e.g., 999 miles between Oct 2021 and Oct 2022), but no signs of odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories across 4 tests (e.g., Oct 2024, Oct 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
- Recurring brake advisories across 3 tests (e.g., Oct 2024, Oct 2025) suggest a pattern of maintenance.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 2 tests (e.g., Oct 2024, Oct 2025) point to a history of wear.
- The Oct 2022 failure for a broken offside rear coil spring was immediately rectified but indicates a past suspension weakness.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, suggesting genuine usage.
- No major failures recorded, only one minor failure in 2013 that was immediately rectified.
