2008 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · AA08 XSM

The Vauxhall Astra shows a passed roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 18 October 2021 at 125,749 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable on paper given no defects were recorded at that point. The history is short and clean, though the single failure logged earlier the same day at 125,748 miles carries no listed defects, which points to an administrative or pre-check rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage of 125,749 against an October 2021 test gives an average of roughly 6,986 miles per year since the 2008 build, a figure typical for a car of this age and suggesting moderate, consistent use rather than neglect or excessive commercial wear. The gap between that last test and today's date of 8 July 2026 leaves nearly five years of unrecorded mileage and upkeep, so the current mechanical state cannot be confirmed from the supplied data alone. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and independent inspection before purchase, focusing on structural integrity and corrosion given the vehicle's 18-year age and unknown recent storage conditions. Suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers warrant close checking, as these items commonly degrade on Astras of this era when left untested for multiple years. The identical mileage pair on 18 October 2021 shows the car was presented for test twice in one day with no advisories or defects noted, implying the prior owner addressed whatever triggered the first failure promptly. No recurring faults appear in the record, but the absence of tests since 2021 means consumable wear and exhaust emissions remain unverified for the current period.
