2008 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · AF58 AET

The vehicle presents a clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend, showing no recorded failures or advisories across the documented period. The most recent test on 11 April 2022 at 146,201 miles resulted in a pass with no defects noted. This indicates that the vehicle has consistently met minimum legal standards for structural integrity and mechanical safety during its recent inspections. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,122 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 94,814 miles in December 2017 to 146,201 miles in April 2022. There are no signs of erratic mileage spikes or long periods of inactivity that would suggest the vehicle has been standing for extended durations. Because the MOT record is entirely devoid of advisories, the documentation does not highlight specific recurring issues with consumables such as brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes. However, the absence of recorded advisories in the digital history does not guarantee the current condition of wear-and-tear components. A physical inspection is required to check for common age-related issues such as corrosion on the underside, worn shock absorbers, or uneven tyre wear. A prospective buyer should focus on inspecting the vehicle for any signs of structural rust or oil leaks that may have developed since the last recorded test in 2022. Given the mileage has exceeded 140,000 miles, verifying the condition of the timing belt and water pump is advisable, as these are critical maintenance items not covered by the MOT testing regime.
