Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. The vehicle's most recent MOT status is a failure, and the lack of detailed defect reports makes its current roadworthiness impossible to verify.
Your primary priority must be confirming why the vehicle failed its MOT on 11th June 2024. Since no specific defects were recorded in the data, you must request the original MOT certificate from the seller to identify the faults. Do not purchase this vehicle until a fresh MOT has been passed and the repairs documented.
Check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for the 1.6L petrol engine. Given the age of the vehicle, ensure there is a clear record of oil changes to avoid engine wear issues common in high-mileage older Astras.
