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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 30,025 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of issues suggests significant wear and potential future costs.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 5,031 miles/year, averaging only 2,689 miles/year between 2018 and 2022, which is a significant red flag for a 2008 car.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake advisories (15 items) across 3 tests (2012, 2013, 2014) indicate chronic wear.
  • Steering rack advisories (3 items) escalating to a major failure in Jan 2022 point to a persistent and serious issue.
  • Suspension shock absorber advisories (4 items) since 2012 suggest a long-standing, unresolved problem.
  • Engine oil and exhaust advisories (4 items) and a major failure in Jan 2022 highlight ongoing engine and emissions concerns.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • The vehicle has a current, valid MOT certificate, which is a positive for immediate roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT records.
  • The car has a consistent, albeit low, mileage history since its first MOT in 2011.
