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 19 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 20,320 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and recurring issues makes this a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,750 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the first MOT in 2011 was unusually late for a 2008 registration.

Things to check

  • Dec 2018: Front Inner Brake pad(s) wearing thin advisory — indicates imminent brake replacement.
  • Dec 2022: Offside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak — a major suspension failure.
  • Dec 2022: Nearside Front Coil spring fractured or broken — another major suspension failure.
  • Dec 2022: Offside Front Coil spring fractured or broken — a second major suspension failure.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Consistent mileage trajectory over 18 years, averaging 9,750 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
