2008 Vauxhall Astra 1.8L Petrol · AB08 TWF

The Vauxhall Astra presents a currently roadworthy status following the February 2024 pass at 107,524 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test on 14 February 2024 recorded no defects. Prior passes in February 2023 at 103,099 miles and February 2022 at 98,295 miles also showed clean sheets. The record shows no worsening mechanical faults over the observed period. The odometer reads 107,524 miles against an 18-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,974 miles per year, which is low for this model age. Annual accumulation stayed consistent: 4,804 miles between the February 2022 and February 2023 tests, then 4,425 miles to February 2024. Two failed tests on 15 February 2022 (98,275 miles) and 14 February 2024 (107,521 miles) list no defects, implying administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical failure. The sparse, clean record gives limited insight into wear on consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Standing periods implied by low mileage often accelerate corrosion on structural members and brake calipers. The absence of advisories across all tests means the DVSA record offers no flagged fatigue on exhaust emissions or steering joints. Verify the bodywork and subframe for rust, and confirm the tyres and wiper blades meet legal limits despite no tester warnings. The duplicated same-day fail-pass entries suggest clerical re-tests; obtain the full V5C and service book to corroborate owner care.
