2006 Vauxhall Astra 1.2L Diesel · AC07 EBA

The roadworthiness status of this vehicle is currently questionable because the last recorded MOT is over three years lapsed. On 17 November 2022 at 159,304 miles, the Astra failed its test with no specific defects listed in the summary, suggesting a significant failure that was not rectified or re-tested. Since no subsequent tests appear in the record, the vehicle is likely untagged for legal road use, and the maintenance trend has shifted from stable to a complete lack of recent regulatory verification. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The record shows steady progression between May 2019 at 128,122 miles and November 2021 at 149,992 miles. However, the gap of nearly 10,000 miles between the 2021 pass and the 2022 failure indicates a period of heavy use that ended in a mechanical failure. The lack of data since late 2022 means the current state of the rubber components, braking system, and structural integrity is entirely unknown. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the lower chassis and suspension components. Given the vehicle's age and the high mileage, corrosion on the sills, subframe, and rear mounting points is a primary concern for this Astra generation. The failure in 2022 requires a specific investigation into what component caused the rejection, as the absence of a pass suggests a major repair. Check for perished rubber bushes and seized brake calipers, as the vehicle has likely sat or lacked professional oversight for several years.
