2004 Vauxhall Astra SRI Cdti 100 1.7L Heavy oil · OKZ 2093

The 2004 Vauxhall Astra Sri CDTi 100 remains roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 12 September 2021 at 121,603 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This outcome continues a clean three-test sequence, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than one that is worsening or improving. Mileage accumulation over the recorded history is notably low for a vehicle of this age. Between the 101,807-mile test on 26 September 2018 and the final recorded test on 12 September 2021, the car averaged roughly 6,600 miles per year, consistent with the overall figure of about 5,527 miles annually. The gap since the last MOT is significant, however; as of August 2026, the vehicle has been without a valid test for nearly five years, meaning its current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from these records alone. Given the absence of recurring faults in the available history, the primary concern for any prospective buyer is the extended dormancy period. Long-term standing can lead to tyre perishing, brake disc corrosion, and fuel system degradation. In-person inspection should focus on suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding, and a thorough check of exhaust emissions and structural integrity, particularly around the front subframe and sill areas where corrosion commonly develops on this model.
