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 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 17,243 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with its poor maintenance record and potential odometer tampering, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The mileage decreased from 96,422 miles in Sep 2024 to 89,124 miles in Sep 2025, a clear red flag for possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Sep 2024 (96,422 mi) and Sep 2025 (89,124 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
  • DANGEROUS defects recorded for steering, suspension, tyres, and brakes across multiple tests.
  • Mileage decreased by 7,298 miles between Sep 2024 and Sep 2025, indicating potential odometer tampering.
  • Recurring failures in critical safety systems like steering, suspension, and brakes, showing a pattern of neglect.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until September 2026, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check) or write-off markers is present in the provided data.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 provides a basic level of crashworthiness for occupants.
