This 2008 Vauxhall has 24 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 29,739 miles. While recent tests have passed, the repeated issues with critical safety components warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 9,311 miles/year, with a significant drop in annual usage (2022-2023) followed by a return to higher annual mileage (2024-2025).

Things to check

  • Recurring brake system failures and advisories across multiple tests (2010, 2013, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2025).
  • DANGEROUS defect recorded on 2010-03-23 for front inner brake pads.
  • Major failure for Offside Track rod end ball joint on 2013-06-18.
  • Major failure for Offside Front Macpherson strut on 2011-07-13.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-01, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory, averaging 9,311 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current owner has maintained the vehicle.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good overall safety features.
