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

This 2008 Maxus has 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 54,449 miles. The recurring electrical and wiper issues, combined with a recent major windscreen failure, indicate a high-risk purchase.

The MOT history shows a 13-year gap in tests (2011-2024) with suspiciously low mileage readings before Nov 2021 (265 mi/yr equivalent) and Jan 2024 (5 mi/yr equivalent).

Things to check

  • Critical 13-year MOT history gap (2011-2024) — no verifiable history.
  • Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low usage before Nov 2021 (265 mi/yr equivalent).
  • Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low usage before Jan 2024 (5 mi/yr equivalent).
  • Recurring electrical failures: Headlamp aim failures in 2011 and 2025.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-10, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) suggests good structural integrity.
  • No recurring major structural failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) in recent tests.
  • Consistent annual mileage since 2019, averaging 6,115 miles/year.
