VAUXHALL ASTRA2012 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 November 2025 with 76,435 miles and no recorded defects. This clean result indicates that the mechanical and safety components currently meet the minimum legal standards. While a single failure occurred on 2 November 2023 at 71,818 miles, the subsequent pass suggests that any identified issues were addressed immediately and have not recurred. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,460 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 67,754 miles and the November 2025 test at 76,435 miles, the car covered 8,681 miles. This low annual usage suggests light operation which reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, though low-mile vehicles can sometimes suffer from age-related degradation of rubber-based parts or brake surface corrosion due to lack of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches, as older Vauxhall Astra models are prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, the low mileage warrants a check of the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or perished over time. Examining the brake discs for signs of pitting is also advisable, as infrequent use can lead to surface rust that affects the braking surfaces.
