AI verdict AVOID 30/100

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 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 7,566 miles. The vehicle's very low mileage for its age, combined with recurring safety-critical issues, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a deeply suspicious mileage pattern, with only 7,566 miles recorded over 18 years, and a complete absence of any mileage increase between 2019 and 2025, strongly suggesting odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre failures recorded in 2013 and 2019, indicating severe neglect of safety-critical components.
  • Mileage anomaly: Only 7,566 miles recorded over 18 years, with no increases since 2019, suggesting potential odometer fraud.
  • Major failure for windscreen wiper in 2012, and major failure for front tyres in 2013, both critical safety items.
  • Recurring brake hose advisories in 2019 and 2020, suggesting a systemic weakness in the vehicle's braking system.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until October 2026, indicating it currently meets basic roadworthiness standards.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a basic standard since 2025.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design for its era.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, mileage history since its first MOT in 2019.
