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 14 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 70,186 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the high mileage and numerous past issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (76 mi/yr equivalent) before Nov 2015, followed by a significant spike to 17,240 miles/year, indicating inconsistent usage patterns.

Things to check

  • 2017-11-15 MOT expired; vehicle is currently on SORN with no active MOT.
  • May 2012: Failed MOT for windscreen wipers and washer fluid, indicating basic maintenance neglect.
  • May 2012: Failed MOT for rear tyres worn close to legal limit, a recurring issue.
  • May 2012: Failed MOT for nearside rear brake binding, a serious safety concern.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate as of the last test in Oct 2016.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars suggests a generally safe vehicle.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, indicating issues were addressed.
