1995 VAUXHALL ASTRA1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data, though the record is significantly outdated. The most recent test in February 2007 at 99,167 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car was in a functional state at that specific time. However, the lack of any MOT records for the past nineteen years makes it impossible to verify the current roadworthiness or the structural integrity of the vehicle today. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirty-one-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 3,200 miles per year. Between June 2006 and February 2007, the car covered 18,017 miles, which represents a period spike in usage. The recorded mileage suggests the vehicle was likely used sparingly or sat for long periods between tests. Such low usage patterns often lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and seized brake calipers, which are not always reflected in mileage-based figures alone. The 2006 inspection at 81,150 miles identified deterioration in both the nearside and offside suspension arm rubber bushes. While these did not result in excessive movement at the time, they indicate a history of age-related component wear. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection for structural corrosion, particularly in the sills, floor pans, and wing arches, as the long gap since the last test suggests potential neglect. Checking for perished tyres, degraded hoses, and brake fluid is essential to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in hidden mechanical failure.
