This 2008 Vauxhall has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 51,439 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and past failures warrant extreme caution.
Mileage is consistent, averaging 8,694 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious drops detected across 95,131 miles by April 2019.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2021-10-13; vehicle is currently on SORN, meaning no active MOT.
- Recurring brake disc advisories (Apr 2019) and shock absorber advisories (Oct 2020) indicate systemic wear.
- Major failure for imbalanced brakes on 2011-02-01, a critical safety component.
- Major failure for offside front tyre cut on 2020-10-01, a safety-critical defect.
Working in its favour
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,694 miles/year, aligning with typical UK usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation detected in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
- No recent MOT failures, indicating the car has been maintained to pass its last tests.
