2003 Vauxhall Astra 1.8L Petrol · HN53 AGX

The most recent MOT on 6 January 2025 at 128,963 mi passed without recorded defects, indicating the vehicle is currently road‑worthy. The history shows a stable maintenance pattern, with a single failure recorded on 18 October 2023 that was rectified by the subsequent November test, suggesting any issue was promptly addressed. Across a 23‑year lifespan the car has accumulated 128,963 mi, averaging roughly 5,600 mi per year. Between the 25 October 2021 test (120,104 mi) and the 6 January 2025 test the mileage rose by just under 9,000 mi, confirming a consistently low annual run‑off. No large mileage jumps or unexplained gaps appear in the record, reinforcing the impression of light, regular use. Even though the MOT entries list no persistent faults, the un‑itemised failure in October 2023 hints at a potential concern that required retesting. A buyer should therefore examine the brake system for any signs of binding calipers or uneven disc wear, verify suspension components such as bushings and coil springs for corrosion or play, and inspect tyre tread depth and condition. A visual check for structural rust, particularly around wheel arches and chassis, will confirm the absence of hidden corrosion.
