AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2008 Chevrolet has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 17,110 miles. The vehicle's very low mileage for its age, combined with a 2026 MOT expiry date, presents significant concerns.

The vehicle shows very low usage, averaging 3,062 miles/year, with a critical 2021 service gap and a suspiciously low 68 miles/year recorded before April 2022.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2019-07-20, followed by MAJOR failure on 2020-07-18.
  • DANGEROUS suspension failure on 2020-07-18, with recurring advisories.
  • 2021 MOT gap indicates potential SORN or unrecorded off-road use.
  • May 2025 MOT advisory for corroded subframe and suspension arm.

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures or advisories from May 2025 onwards.
  • Vehicle has a valid MOT until May 2026, despite its history.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in recent tests.
