VAUXHALL ASTRAVAN2006 · 1.7L Diesel

The Vauxhall Astravan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 January 2026 at 141,801 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests show no advisories or faults. The vehicle's history indicates consistent mechanical condition across the observed period rather than a worsening or resolving pattern. Recorded mileage sits at 141,801 against a 2006 build, averaging roughly 7,090 miles per year which is typical for this age of light commercial vehicle. The DVSA data shows 136,445 miles on 29 November 2024 and 131,301 miles on 7 December 2023, giving annual use near 5,100 miles between those dates and a similar increment to the 2026 figure. A single failed test on 6 December 2023 at 131,273 miles was followed one day later by a pass at 131,301 miles with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or minor rectification rather than a substantive mechanical fault. The record is sparse and clean with no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions issues flagged at any stage. Given the absence of recorded advisories across five years of testing, the previous owner appears to have kept basic upkeep current and the van has avoided structural or drivetrain flags. A buyer should still verify in person that brake discs, coil springs, and suspension bushes show no latent wear the annual test missed, and inspect underbody and sills for corrosion typical of a 20-year-old Vauxhall. Confirm the 2026 pass reflects true condition rather than a lenient test, since no prior advisories leave little trail of consumable replacement such as tyres or wiper blades.
