1995 VAUXHALL ASTRA1.8L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its final record, though the data is critically outdated. The most recent test in September 2010 at 95,474 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, suggesting the previous mechanical issues were addressed. However, because there is no MOT data recorded for the subsequent sixteen years, the current legal roadworthy condition of the Astra cannot be verified and likely falls well below modern safety standards without a comprehensive mechanical inspection. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 31-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between September 2008 at 80,903 miles and September 2010 at 95,474 miles, the car covered 14,571 miles. While low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, fluid breakdown, and internal corrosion which are not captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry, as the 2009 records highlighted recurring issues with track rod ends, brake pipe corrosion, and brake hose ferrules. The 2010 failure also indicated a lack of basic maintenance regarding mismatched tyre sizes and worn wiper blades. Given the sixteen-year data gap, structural integrity and the state of perishable items like brake lines, fuel lines, and perished seals require immediate scrutiny to ensure the vehicle is safe for modern road use.
