This 2008 Vauxhall has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 38,600 miles. This structural issue, combined with a 2012 failure for headlamp and tyres, suggests potential underlying problems.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 7,319 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- 2011-03-31 advisory: Nearside Rear Inner Integral body structure excessive corrosion (safety-critical).
- 2012-03-31 failure: Nearside Front Headlamp not working on dipped beam (safety-critical).
- 2012-03-31 failure: Both front tyres below 1.6mm tread depth (safety-critical).
- 2012-03-31 failure: Both front windscreen wipers ineffective (safety-critical).
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 7,319 miles/year, indicating light use.
- No recurring major failures or advisories on critical systems like brakes or suspension.
- Single, isolated MOT failure in 2012 was immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
- The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
