2012 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · EN61 AAV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on three consecutive clean passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 June 2024 at 106,931 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the previous owner maintained the car to a standard that satisfied regulatory requirements. This trend of clean records suggests no immediate mechanical failures or structural weaknesses identified during the official testing periods. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 18,892 miles between the May 2022 test at 83,276 miles and the June 2023 test at 102,168 miles, followed by a more modest increase of 4,763 miles leading into the 2024 inspection. This data suggests the car was used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and the seizing of braking components. While the MOT history shows no recorded advisories or past faults, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Vauxhall Astra of this era. Given the vehicle has surpassed 100,000 miles, the buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often perish without failing an MOT immediately. A close check for developing surface corrosion on the sills and rear brake arches is also necessary, as the MOT does not detect surface rust until it reaches a structural integrity threshold.
