2006 Vauxhall Astravan 1.7L Diesel · AF56 LCL

The Vauxhall Astravan shows a current roadworthy status following its most recent pass on 18 January 2022 at 195,210 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The single failure logged one day earlier at 195,208 miles recorded no defects, indicating the vehicle cleared on a subsequent presentation without listed rectification. Given the four-year gap to today's date of 8 July 2026, no evidence exists of worsening fault patterns, though the absence of recent testing leaves present condition unverified. Recorded mileage stands at 195,210 against a 2006 build, equating to roughly 9,760 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a light commercial of this age. The history shows only two entries within January 2022, separated by 2 miles, with no earlier tests supplied. Such sparse data prevents assessment of long-term accumulation or standing periods, but the low inter-test distance suggests the van was in regular short-haul service at that time rather than stored. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and physical inspection before purchase, prioritising suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's twenty-year age and high mileage. The brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions must be measured for wear and binding, as the 2022 failure with no defects noted offers no clue to the presented fault. Without recurring advisories in the record, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic test compliance, yet the lapse since January 2022 means tyres, wiper blades, and structural integrity now require verification against current road standards.
