This 2008 Vauxhall has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 85,124 miles. The high mileage and recurring issues with the exhaust system and tyres present significant risks.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 14,663 miles per year, with a significant spike to 166,034 miles by April 2019.
Things to check
- Vehicle is currently on SORN (no tax paid) since 2019, indicating it has not been on the road.
- MOT expired 2019-05-03; no valid MOT certificate is present, making it unroadworthy.
- High annual mileage (14,663 mi/yr) suggests heavy commercial or high-use driving, accelerating wear.
- Exhaust system repeatedly failed (Apr 2019) and advised (Oct 2012) for leaks and emissions, indicating a chronic issue.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- No recurring failures on the same system after the 2019 test, suggesting the owner addressed the immediate issues.
- The vehicle has a consistent MOT history since its first test in 2011, showing no gaps or suspicious periods.
- The 2017 Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars indicates a strong safety record for this model.
