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 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 22,376 miles. The vehicle's age and potential for accumulated wear require thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,553 miles per year, with a notable drop from 82,515 miles in Dec 2019 to 84,359 miles in Dec 2020, indicating periods of minimal use.
Things to check
- Extremely low annual mileage (5,553 mi/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle suggests long periods of inactivity.
- Recent shock absorber advisory (Jan 2026) indicates a current wear item requiring attention.
- First MOT test on 2011-07-07 was 3 years late, raising questions about its initial roadworthiness.
- The 2023 MOT gap suggests the vehicle may have been off-road or not used during that period.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- No MOT failures recorded across 8 tests, demonstrating a generally well-maintained vehicle.
- Valid MOT until January 2027, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
