2008 Vauxhall Tigra 1.4L Petrol · AV08 CME

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass on 02 April 2025 at 97,119 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car has successfully cleared inspections without recorded defects for several years. The two failures noted in March 2024 and April 2025 resulted in no listed defects, suggesting these were likely administrative errors or minor issues that were rectified immediately without indicating a deep-seated mechanical failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2008 registration, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per annum. The data shows a significant gap in usage between March 2023 (88,828 miles) and March 2024 (89,436 miles), where the vehicle covered only 408 miles in a full year. Usage increased sharply to over 7,600 miles in the following 12 months. This pattern of intermittent use reduces overall wear on the drivetrain but can lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake systems during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and suspension components, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related corrosion rather than mechanical wear. Check the sills and wheel arches for structural rust, which is common on vehicles of this era. Given the periods of standing, inspect the brake calipers for seizing or seized pistons and check the suspension bushes for cracking or perished rubber. The clean history suggests a well-maintained example, but the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough look at fluid leaks and perished hoses.
