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 23 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 19,342 miles. The vehicle's age and mileage trajectory, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, present a critical contradiction that requires immediate and thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 6,827 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the MOT history reveals a 2011-10-26 test with only 19,342 miles recorded, which is highly irregular for a 2008 vehicle.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2019-11-01 and 2020-10-29, indicating severe safety neglect.
- Recurring major failures in brakes (8 times), lights (7 times), and suspension (4 times) across 16 MOT tests.
- The 2011-10-26 test recorded only 19,342 miles for a 2008 vehicle, a significant and unexplained anomaly.
- The 2014-11-04 test recorded 51,386 miles, which is unusually low for a 2008 diesel.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-11-06, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 6,827 miles/year, suggesting regular use and maintenance.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars is a strong positive for safety.
