This 2008 Opel has 22 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 39,707 miles. The vehicle's condition and integrity are highly questionable, making it a high-risk purchase.

- Dangerous Suspension defect (ball joint) recorded on 2018-11-2019.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety foundation for its model.
- The vehicle has a consistent high annual mileage, suggesting regular use and maintenance.
- The vehicle has a long, unbroken MOT history since its first test in 2018.
