2008 Vauxhall Tigra 1.4L Petrol · FY58 AAV

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 19 June 2025 at 70,768 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to June 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has suffered very little mechanical degradation. The mileage is notably low for an 18 year old car, averaging roughly 3,932 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the odometer moved from 64,997 to 70,768 miles, showing a steady but light usage pattern of approximately 1,900 miles per year over the last three tests. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on the same day in June 2024 at 67,670 miles, though the lack of recorded defects suggests this may have been a clerical error or a very minor rectification. Low mileage on an older Vauxhall chassis often masks risks associated with long periods of standing. While the MOT history is devoid of flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion, these components can seize or perish regardless of mileage. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber seals and the condition of the tyres, as low-mileage vehicles often run on old rubber that has hardened over time. The absence of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures in the records is a positive indicator. However, the lack of any recorded advisories over several years is unusual for a car of this age. An in-person inspection should focus on the underbody for surface rust and a check of the brake calipers to ensure no binding has occurred during periods of inactivity.
