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 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 11,933 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and repeated issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 4,141 miles per year, with a significant gap in MOT history between 2013 and 2018.

Things to check

  • Recurring major suspension failures (e.g., Offside Rear Shock absorbers leak, Jul 2021) and advisories (e.g., Nearside Rear Shock absorbers worn, Aug 2024).
  • Persistent lighting system issues (e.g., Offside Front Position lamp, Jul 2021; Nearside Rear Stop lamp, Jul 2021).
  • Brake system failures (e.g., Nearside Front Brake disc worn, Jul 2021) and advisories (e.g., Nearside Rear Brake disc worn, Jul 2021).
  • Tyre condition advisories (e.g., Nearside Front Outer Tyre worn, Jul 2021; Offside Rear Tyre damaged, Jul 2021) across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-09-14, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
  • Immediate retests after failures demonstrate owner's attempts to address issues.
  • Low annual mileage (4,141 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
