2008 Vauxhall Astra SRI XP Cdti 150 1.9L Heavy oil · AE58 YTZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test in February 2025 at 120,289 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met passing standards following previous minor failures. While the record shows failures in early 2022 and early 2025, the subsequent passes indicate that the owner is willing to rectify identified defects rather than allowing them to persist across years. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 12,187 miles between February 2022 and January 2024, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 5,440 miles in the final year leading up to the 2025 test. The February 2025 failure occurred just 16 miles before the recorded pass, suggesting a minor consumable-related failure or a lighting and component issue that was addressed immediately before the re-test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and underbody, as these are the most likely areas for wear on an Astra of this age and mileage. Despite the lack of advisories in the recent records, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look for corrosion on the rear subframe and structural mounting points. Given the mileage, verifying the condition of the brake lines and checking the rubber bushings for cracking is essential to ensure the clean MOT history translates into mechanical reliability in daily operation.
