2021 Vauxhall Astra Griffin Edition Turbo 1.2L Petrol · AK71 BUU

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness status with a clear improving trend in maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 June 2026 at 32,793 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed, and the car currently meets all DVSA standards for safety and environmental emissions. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use private vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between September 2024 and September 2025, the Astra covered 3,724 miles, followed by an additional 2,267 miles in the nine months leading up to the June 2026 test. This low annual mileage suggests wear on the drivetrain and suspension components remains minimal, though periods of lower use can occasionally lead to flat-spotting or brake corrosion if not driven regularly. Despite the recent clean record, the September 2024 test at 26,752 miles flagged a worn nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit and thin rear brake pads. While the subsequent tests show these faults were rectified, a buyer should still verify the current depth of the tread and the remaining life of the brake pads during a physical inspection. The previous uneven wear on the edge of the front tyre also suggests a past alignment issue that would be worth checking to ensure the current tyres are not scrubbing prematurely.
