This 2008 Vauxhall has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 31,120 miles. However, a 2018-01-06 MOT expiry date is highly unusual for an 18-year-old vehicle, and a 2017-01-17 advisory for engine oil is a significant concern.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,620 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but a 2017-01-17 advisory for engine oil is a concern.
Things to check
- 2018-01-06 MOT expiry date is highly unusual for an 18-year-old vehicle.

- Jan 2017 MOT advisory for 'tyre' shows recurring wear, suggesting poor maintenance.
