VAUXHALL ASTRA2006 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 22 November 2025 at 116,886 miles. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the car has achieved three consecutive clean passes without any recorded advisories or defects. While the test history shows initial failures on the same day as the passes in 2024 and 2025, these appear to be administrative anomalies or data entry errors rather than mechanical failures, given the lack of recorded defects. With a total of 116,886 miles over a twenty-year lifespan, the vehicle averages approximately 5,844 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile suggests the car has seen light usage or potentially long periods of inactivity. The consistency of the annual testing schedule indicates that the vehicle has remained in regular circulation, avoiding the common mechanical degradation associated with prolonged storage, such as seized brake components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, as Astra models of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. Despite the clean MOT record, rubber suspension bushes and coil springs often degrade due to age rather than mileage and may require replacement if they have not been addressed previously. Check the condition of the brake discs for surface oxidation and ensure the exhaust system remains free of leaks, as these components frequently deteriorate on vehicles that are used sparingly.
