2006 Vauxhall Astra 1.8L Petrol · AD06 YPR

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 April 2025 at 150,694 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual examinations since the 2022 pass. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2006 vehicle, averaging roughly 7,535 miles per year across its life. The records show 118,890 miles at the May 2022 test, rising to 128,646 by May 2023, 141,615 by May 2024, and 150,694 by April 2025. A single anomaly appears in late April 2023 when the car failed at 128,149 miles, yet the tester logged no defects; the owner corrected the issue and passed thirteen days later at 128,646 miles. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps are evident. The absence of advisories across five years limits predictive concern over suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody integrity and coil springs given the vehicle's twenty-year age and 150,000-mile use. The April 2023 failure with no recorded defect suggests an administrative or emissions-related rejection rather than mechanical neglect, but verifying the test certificate rationale remains prudent before purchase.
