2008 Vauxhall Astra 1.9L Petrol · AE08 CBC

The Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its two most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 30 September 2022 at 182,620 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, matching the prior pass on 2 September 2021 at 170,484 miles. The vehicle shows no worsening faults or recurring mechanical concerns within the supplied history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,146 miles, typical for an 18-year-old car. The record spans only 2021 and 2022, with 12,136 miles added between those September tests. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data, though the sparse two-entry history limits insight into earlier care. The 2022 figure of 182,620 miles stands as the last recorded odometer reading, now nearly four years old relative to today's date. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as an MOT pass at this age does not guarantee absence of developing rust. The tester logged no advisories on brake discs, calipers, or suspension bushes, yet components at 182,620 miles will carry substantial wear risk unseen in the clean record. Verify the actual current mileage and confirm the car has not been laid up since September 2022, as prolonged standing can degrade tyres, seals, and brake hydraulics. Given the minimal paper trail, assess exhaust emissions and drivetrain condition directly before purchase.
