2006 Vauxhall Astra 1.9L Diesel · AD06 TRV

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 November 2025 at 142,147 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 9 November 2024 at 134,511 miles. The November 2024 record also shows a failed attempt on the same date and mileage with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five years of data the vehicle cleared every completed test without advisories. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2006 car. The records show 116,611 miles in November 2022, 127,736 miles in November 2023, 134,511 miles in November 2024, and 142,147 miles in November 2025. That equates to roughly 7,100 to 8,800 miles per year, a consistent and unremarkable pattern with no sudden accumulation or prolonged standing. The sparse but clean history gives little insight into owner care beyond evidence that the car was presented for test each year and passed. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and 142,000 miles of service. The MOT file flags no corrosion or structural concerns, yet twenty years of winter road exposure can hide underseal rot the tester did not record. Check the exhaust for internal degradation and confirm the tyres fitted match the recorded tread condition at last test. The repeated absence of advisories suggests previous keepers addressed wear before each test, but the 2024 duplicate entry warrants a request for the full DVSA certificate to rule out omitted faults. Treat the clean sheet as a baseline, not a guarantee, and budget for consumable replacement on a high-mileage Vauxhall of this era.
