VAUXHALL ASTRA2012 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 37,771 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, marking a streak of three consecutive clean passes following a single failure in 2022. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained and that critical components are currently operating within acceptable parameters without immediate degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. Data shows consistent, low-intensity usage over time, with only 3,767 miles covered between the October 2022 and September 2025 tests. The record indicates regular annual intervals between tests. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, the long intervals between periods of use can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluids that do not show up on mileage alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage stagnation. Despite the clean history, the tester must check for drytted tyres, perished suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers which often occur when a car sits stationary for long periods. The failure in 2022 at 27,704 miles was resolved quickly to allow a pass the following day, but a thorough check of the structural integrity, specifically the sills and wheel arches, remains essential as corrosion is a common issue for this model regardless of the miles driven.
