VAUXHALL ASTRA2012 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent test in July 2025 at 91,891 miles resulted in no recorded defects, continuing a multi-year streak of successful inspections following a single failure in 2022. This suggests that the previous owner has addressed any necessary repairs promptly and maintained the mechanical components to a standard that meets safety requirements. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles annually. Between July 2022 and July 2025, the car covered 12,497 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 4,165 miles per year. This low-intensity usage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components. The regular intervals between tests indicate a consistent maintenance schedule rather than the vehicle sitting stationary for long periods. While the recent MOT history is clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection focusing on common Vauxhall failure points for this generation of Astra. Given the age of the car, check for structural corrosion on the rear subframe and sills, as the MOT only flags significant rust once it affects structural integrity. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often see rubber perish over fourteen decade. Ensure the brake discs are not heavily pitted from infrequent use, which can occur on cars driven low annual distances.
