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 17 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 17,150 miles. While it has a clean recent MOT pass, the recurring brake advisories and a fractured coil spring are notable wear items.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 39,786 miles by March 2019, then only 3,674 miles added over the next 12 months (March 2020), indicating a significant and unexplained change in usage.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 17,150 miles over 18 years (Mar 2020: 40,437 mi, then only 3,674 mi added by Mar 2021).
  • Recurring brake disc advisories across 5 tests (Mar 2021, Feb 2022, Jun 2023, May 2024, Jun 2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • Fractured offside front coil spring (Mar 2021) — a major suspension failure that was only marginally addressed

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded since the 2021 suspension failure.
  • Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory since first registration in 2008.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
