1993 VAUXHALL ASTRA1.4L Petrol

The Vauxhall Astra passed its most recent MOT on 21 October 2023 at 108,727 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend despite earlier minor issues. At 33 years old the car has accumulated roughly 3,295 miles per year, a rate lower than typical for a vehicle of this age, suggesting light usage or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage has risen steadily, with an increase of 1,593 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests and a similar rise of 1,383 miles between 2017 and 2018, while earlier years show consistent annual increments without long gaps in the record. A buyer should therefore focus on the brake system, examining the front disc for pitting or scoring, the condition of the brake hose and calipers for binding, and the rear brake pipe for corrosion noted in 2022. Structural integrity should be checked around the near‑side rear subframe mounting area where excessive corrosion was prescribed in 2019, and the rear exhaust bracket, which showed corrosion in 2017. Inspection of suspension bushes, tyre tread depth, wiper blades and the off‑side rear fog lamp will help confirm that the vehicle’s overall condition matches the recent MOT’s clean report.
