2002 Vauxhall Astra LS DTI 16V ECO 1.7L Gas bi-fuel · HHZ 6165

The Vauxhall Astra last passed its MOT on 3 August 2023 at 227,789 miles with no defects recorded, so the most recent evidence shows a roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though two immediate prior failures in mid-2023 at zero recorded miles cloud that picture. Those June and July 2023 tests failed with no defects listed, which points to administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical faults. Recorded mileage sits at 227,789 over roughly 24 years, averaging about 9,491 miles annually, which is typical for the age. The history jumps from 191,215 miles at the November 2019 test to 227,789 at the August 2023 pass, adding 36,574 miles across a four-year gap with only a November 2021 pass in between showing no mileage. Sparse entries and two zero-mile failure lines mean the true use pattern between 2019 and 2023 is partly undocumented. A buyer should physically verify the vehicle's identity and V5C linkage given the zero-mile failures, as these suggest possible registration or test booking errors rather than driven wear. With no advisories or defects ever logged, the tester never flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the record. Despite the clean sheets, the high total mileage and 2002 build mean structural rust and worn consumables like tyres, wiper blades, and dampers are likely present unseen. Inspect subframes, sills, and coil springs closely, and confirm the odometer matches the 227,789 figure before purchase.
