2006 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · SG56 AAZ

The vehicle's roadworthiness status is currently unverified as the most recent MOT record dates back over four years to February 2022. The maintenance trend appears stable based on the limited data available, with the car passing its last test on 4 February 2022 at 121,175 miles. A failure occurred just one day prior at 121,163 miles, though the record lists no specific defects, suggesting a minor administrative or quick-fix issue was resolved immediately. The mileage is typical for a 2006 model, averaging roughly 6,059 miles per year. However, there is a significant data gap between February 2022 and the current date of August 2026. The car recorded 121,175 miles in early 2022 and has remained at that figure in the records since. This suggests the vehicle may have been stationary for several years, which often leads to perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and battery degradation. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the structural integrity and chassis for corrosion, as these are common failure points for Astras of this era. Given the likely period of inactivity, check for flat-spotted tyres, leaking suspension bushes, and signs of moisture ingress in the cabin. The braking system requires a full check for binding or seized discs and pads. Verify the current engine health and exhaust emissions, as long-term standing can lead to fuel system sludge or gasket failure. A fresh MOT is essential to identify any new mechanical defects that have developed since the 2022 test.
