Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2026‑01‑10 MOT at 85,364 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the Vauxhall Astra remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record demonstrates a stable condition with no worsening faults. Mileage has risen from 65,893 miles in the March 2023 test to 85,364 miles in the January 2026 test, an increase of roughly 7,700 miles per year, which is consistent with the typical annual usage for a 14‑year‑old vehicle and shows no large gaps between inspections. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, assess the chassis for structural rust, and verify the condition of the exhaust system, while also checking tyre tread depth and wiper blade integrity, as these components commonly show signs of wear on high‑mileage Astra models.
