This 2008 Vauxhall has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 18,804 miles. The vehicle's age and recurring issues make it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage averaging 2,725 miles/year, with a suspiciously low 143 miles recorded before Oct 2018, and a significant jump in usage from 2018 onwards, indicating potential odometer issues.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 48,872 miles over 18 years (typical: 87,786 miles).
- Recurring major suspension failures (Oct 2023, Nov 2024, Dec 2025) and brake advisories (Oct 2023, Nov 2024, Dec 2025).
- Offside Front Shock absorbers had a serious fluid leak (Dec 2025 advisory).
- Offside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (Oct 2023 advisory).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-01, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures, suggesting current issues are being addressed.
- Consistent annual mileage increases since 2018, despite low overall total.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
