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 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 22,759 miles. Recurring brake and suspension advisories, despite being resolved, indicate a history of wear and tear.

The vehicle shows extremely low usage, averaging 2,370 miles/year, with a critical anomaly: 37,482 miles in May 2019, then only 5,304 miles in the subsequent 5 years, suggesting potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 22,759 miles over 18 years (May 2019: 37,482 mi, then 5,304 mi in 5 years).
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Nov 2022, Nov 2023, Nov 2024, Nov 2025) and hose corrosion (Nov 2023) suggest chronic brake system neglect.
  • Recurring suspension coil spring failures (Nov 2021, Nov 2023) and exhaust advisories (Nov 2022, Nov 2023, Nov 2024) indicate structural wear.
  • Very low annual mileage (averaging 2,370 miles/year) raises questions about vehicle use and potential hidden issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until November 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded on the latest MOT (Nov 2025).
  • Consistent retest passes after failures demonstrate the owner's efforts to address issues.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
