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 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 28,131 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect in critical wear items is a significant red flag.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,223 miles per year, with a notable spike of 31,758 miles between June 2011 and July 2013.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 5 tests (2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Major failure for exhaust emissions on 2013-07-15, a common issue for this model.
  • High mileage of 28,131 miles for an 18-year-old vehicle suggests more wear and tear.
  • The vehicle is currently on SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification), meaning it is not currently taxed or insured.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies, which is a positive.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a strong safety feature.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures, showing responsive ownership.
