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 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 52,421 miles. The vehicle's low annual mileage and numerous unresolved advisories from the most recent test make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 5,830 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 88,989 miles in Aug 2018 to 93,750 miles in Aug 2021, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • Major emissions failure on 8.2.2.2 (a) in Aug 2025, a critical safety system.
  • Major tyre failure on 5.2.3 (d) in Aug 2025, indicating severe neglect of safety-critical wear items.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Aug 2021) and suspension coil spring advisories (Aug 2022) across multiple tests.
  • Unexplained mileage drop from 88,989 miles (Aug 2018) to 93,750 miles (Aug 2021).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until August 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recorded DANGERO
