2006 Vauxhall Astravan 1.7L Diesel · CP06 ODC

The 2026‑03‑21 MOT at 197,884 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the Vauxhall Astravan remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record demonstrates a stable, consistent trend. Earlier tests from 2023‑03‑16 through 2025‑03‑22 all resulted in passes except the 2023‑03‑16 failure, which showed no defects on the official report, indicating that any prior issues were resolved before subsequent examinations. The mileage progression from 184,033 miles in March 2023 to 197,884 miles in March 2026 reflects an average annual increase of roughly 9,894 miles, matching the vehicle’s 20‑year age. The interval between the 2023‑03‑17 test and the 2024‑03‑13 test spans 11 months and covers 5,834 miles, while later yearly increments remain under 5,000 miles, suggesting regular use without abrupt mileage spikes. A buyer should therefore focus on mechanical components that commonly generate advisories in similar vans: suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, rear brake calipers for binding, brake discs for corrosion, and the exhaust system for emissions compliance. The absence of recorded defects in the latest test implies that previous issues, such as the 2023 failure, have been rectified, but visual inspection of structural rust and chassis integrity remains essential. Finally, a thorough in‑person assessment of tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and fluid levels will confirm that consumable wear has been managed in line with the mileage profile, completing the objective evaluation of the vehicle’s current condition.
