2008 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · AF58 MYN

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 6 November 2025 at 136,300 miles which recorded no defects. The three prior annual tests from November 2022 through November 2024 also passed cleanly with no advisories, showing consistent mechanical condition across the recorded period. Mileage sat at 109,899 in the November 2022 test and rose to 122,018 by November 2024, then to 136,300 by November 2025. That equates to roughly 6,700 to 14,300 miles per year, close to the 7,572 average for an 18-year-old vehicle. The only anomaly is a failed test on 28 October 2022 at 109,893 miles, just nine days before a pass at 109,899 miles on 7 November 2022; the failure listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT history with zero advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the previous owner clearly kept the car to a sound standard. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions, as MOT passes without advisories do not rule out early-stage rust or worn consumables missed between tests. The absence of recurring faults means no worsening pattern exists. At 136,300 miles the Astra is a low-risk used purchase on paper, though in-person checks of tyre tread depth and wiper blades remain sensible given those are minor items the record does not detail.
