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 22 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 38,004 miles. However, a 2013 headlamp failure and a 2012 brake failure, combined with recurring advisories for tyres and brakes, indicate a history of maintenance neglect.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 38,004 miles over 18 years, averaging 7,136 miles per year, which is consistent with UK driving habits.
Things to check
- 2013-02-01 FAILED: Nearside Headlamp aim beam image obviously incorrect.
- 2012-02-18 FAILED: Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick.
- Recurring advisories for Tyres (3 flags) and Brakes (4 flags) across multiple tests.
- 2011-02-21 ADVISORY: Nearside Front Position lamp not working.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-22, offering peace of mind for several years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its 18-year age, suggesting light use.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2008 model is excellent.
