This 2008 Vauxhall has 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 37,240 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect in critical safety areas warrants a thorough investigation.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,789 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but shows a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 1,813 miles in 12 months from June 2022 to June 2023).
