2021 Vauxhall Astra SE Turbo D 1.5L Diesel · WV21 VRC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean MOT record across the last three inspections. The most recent test conducted on 24 March 2026 at 71,194 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This indicates a consistent standard of maintenance and suggests the previous owners have addressed any mechanical or safety issues before they could be flagged during the annual testing process. The mileage accumulation is significant for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,200 miles per annum. Between the March 2024 test at 36,861 miles and the March 2025 test at 55,323 miles, the car covered 18,462 miles in a single year. The subsequent 15,871 miles covered before the March 2026 test confirms a pattern of heavy use, likely motorway mileage, which typically places less strain on drivetrain and suspension compared to short-distance city driving. While the MOT history shows no recurring structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the upcoming physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer must check the condition of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs, as these often degrade after 70,000 miles. The brake discs and pads should be measured for thickness and uneven wear to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life despite the lack of binding caliper reports in the official record.
