This 2008 Vauxhall has 7 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 28,626 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 2012 service gap, raises significant ownership and maintenance concerns.
The vehicle shows normal usage at 8,731 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a 2012 service gap is concerning.
Things to check
- 2012 MOT gap: No MOT recorded for a full year, indicating potential SORN or off-road use.
- Recurring Brake System Failures: Multiple advisories (Jan 2014) escalated to failures (Jan 2015), indicating chronic neglect.

- Recurring Lighting System Failures: Multiple advisories (Jan 2013) escalated to failures (Jan 2013), indicating electrical issues.
Working in its favour
- Consistent Mileage: The vehicle has consistently low annual mileage, averaging 8,731 miles/year, which is normal for its age.
- Recent Clean MOT: The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2015-01-22, indicating it was roadworthy at that time.
- No Odometer Fraud: Mileage readings are consistent with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage.
- Euro NCAP Rating: 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for this model.
