AI verdict CAUTION 70/100
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 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 20,238 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 2013 failure for excessive front suspension play, raises significant concerns.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 6,417 miles/year, but a significant drop in annual mileage from 5,250 miles (Oct 2019) to 2,543 miles (Oct 2022) is a red flag for potential odometer fraud or periods of inactivity.
Things to check
- 2013-10-07 FAILED: Front suspension has excessive play in a lower suspension ball joint (2.5.B.1a) — a serious safety defect.
- 2013-10-07 FAILED: Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g) — indicates poor maintenance and potential brake system neglect.
- 2012-08-28 FAILED: Nearside Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2) — a minor but recurring failure.
- Recurring advisories on Tyres (4 tests), Steering (4 tests), and Suspension (3 tests) across multiple years indicate systemic wear and potential neglect.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, normal annual mileage of 6,417 miles/year, well below UK average of 8,000.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since the 2013 and 2013 exhaust failures.
- The 2013-10-07 failure for excessive front suspension play was immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
- The 2013-10-07 failure for front brake pads less than 1.5 mm thick was also immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
