VAUXHALL ASTRA2012 · 1.4L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available testing history. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 October 2025 at 116,430 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just five days prior at 116,408 miles. While the failure record shows no defects in the summary, the discrepancy suggests an administrative error or a minor item that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since October 2022, the Astra has maintained a clean record without any recurring advisories or failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. Between the 2022 test at 99,587 miles and the October 2025 test at 116,430 miles, the car covered 16,843 miles over three years, indicating steady, predictable usage. The 2,346-mile gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows the vehicle follows a standard annual schedule, which typically reduces the likelihood of components seizing due to long periods of inactivity. Because the MOT history lacks any recorded structural or mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on typical wear items associated with this age and mileage. A buyer should check for corrosion on the rear sills and wing arches, as these are often the first points of failure on Vauxhall models of this era. Examine the brake discs for signs of thinning or pitting and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as the lack of previous advisories suggests the previous owners addressed maintenance issues before they reached critical failure points.
