AI verdict AVOID 47/100

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 26 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 16,996 miles. The vehicle's extremely low annual mileage (5,793 miles/year) for an 18-year-old car, combined with a 2011-10-08 MOT test date that is not valid for a 2008 vehicle, makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage of 5,793 miles/year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 2,061 miles between May 2023 and May 2024), which is highly unusual for a 2008 vehicle and raises odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Aug 2019 – Jul 2020)
  • 2011-10-08 MOT test date is invalid for a 2008 vehicle, indicating a critical data anomaly.
  • 7 test failures (Aug 2019, Jul 2020, May 2024, May 2025, May 2026) with 9 passes shows a deeply troubled history.
  • Recurring major failures in lights (4 times), windscreen (2 times), suspension (1 time), and engine/oil (1 time) indicate systemic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until 2027-05-20, indicating it is roadworthy for the next three years.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars suggests a generally safe underlying platform.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, showing the owner's ability to address immediate issues.
