2012 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · SL12 ADV

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection in February 2026 at 93,230 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a perfect record over the last five years. This trend suggests that the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle and addressed potential issues before they could escalate into failures during the MOT testing process. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-intensity annual use, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per annum. Between October 2021 at 71,857 miles and February 2026 at 93,230 miles, the car covered 21,373 miles, showing steady usage without excessive accumulation. A gap exists between the February 2022 and November 2022 tests, but the vehicle remained roadworthy throughout this period. The relatively low mileage generally reduces the mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer must still perform a physical inspection of common wear points specific to an Astra of this era. The tester should check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and subframe, as these areas often hide rust until it becomes significant. Given the age, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, as rubber components degrade over time regardless of miles driven. Additionally, verify the brake discs for pitting or binding calipers to ensure the lack of recorded advisories reflects the actual mechanical state of the braking system.
