This 2008 Vauxhall has 5 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 75,470 miles. While it has a recent clean MOT pass, the vehicle's age and high usage demand thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows high annual usage (18,134 miles/yr) with a significant 5-year MOT gap (Apr 2012 to Jun 2017) where mileage is unverified, raising integrity concerns.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 5-year MOT gap (Apr 2012–Jun 2017) means unverified mileage.
- Recurring suspension failures: Nearside Front wheel bearing failed twice (Jun 2017).
- Recurring lighting failures: Headlamp aim failed (Jun 2017) after initial PRS pass (May 2011).
- High annual mileage: 18,134 miles/yr is significantly above UK average (8,000).
Working in its favour
- Recent clean MOT pass: Vehicle passed its last MOT on 2017-06-06.
- No recent failures: No failures recorded on the most recent MOT test.
- Consistent high mileage: Mileage trajectory is consistent, no suspicious drops or spikes.
- Euro NCAP rating: 5-star safety rating for this model (2017).
