VAUXHALL ASTRA2019 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 18 May 2026 at 19,802 miles where no defects were recorded. This reflects an improving trend following minor advisories in 2024. The clean results from the last two annual tests suggest that the current owner is proactive in addressing identified maintenance requirements before they escalate into failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. Data shows a consistent but slow accumulation, moving from 8,173 miles in May 2022 to 17,991 miles in May 2025. While low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, the infrequent use pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age and dry rot rather than physical distance. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the tyres and braking system, as the 2024 test flagged perishing and cracking on both nearside and offside rear tyres at 15,630 miles. Despite these being replaced, the low mileage means the rubber compound can dry out even if tread depth remains high. The tester also noted thin rear brake pads in 2024, so the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs should be verified to ensure no corrosion has developed from periods of stationary use.
