Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 4 February 2026 at 162,887 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without noted mechanical failures or recurring advisories over the last two years. The car has covered 162,887 miles over 11 years, averaging nearly 15,000 miles per year. This is high usage for a Vauxhall Astra. Between 4 April 2024 and 4 February 2026, the vehicle accumulated 16,779 miles. The mileage increases are linear and consistent, suggesting the car has been used regularly for long-distance commuting rather than short city trips. Two failures appear in the record, one on 22 April 2024 and another on 21 January 2025. Both were resolved immediately, as the car passed the following day or within two weeks. The absence of specific defect descriptions in the provided data makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of these failures, but the rapid turnaround indicates a proactive approach to repairs. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components typical for this mileage. While the MOT record is clean, 162,000 miles puts significant stress on suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts. Check for any signs of oil leaks or drivetrain vibration. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis is advised, as these often develop between annual tests.

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (6 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
