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 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 15,074 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and history of neglect warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows very low annual mileage, averaging only 4,405 miles per year, with a significant drop to just 1,218 miles between July 2021 and July 2022.
Things to check
- Recurring brake disc corrosion (Aug 2018) and binding service brake (Aug 2020) indicate systemic brake issues.
- Multiple tyre failures (Aug 2018, Jul 2019, Aug 2020) and advisories (Aug 2018, Jul 2019) suggest chronic tyre neglect.
- Windscreen wiper and washer failures (Aug 2020, Jul 2022) and advisories (Aug 2018, Jul 2022) point to basic maintenance neglect.
- Major failure for Nearside Front Tyre bulge (Dec 2011) and DANGEROUS failure for Nearside Rear Tyre (Aug 2020) highlight critical safety lapses.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until August 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has consistently passed retests after failures, showing issues were addressed.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
