2006 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · CU06 YMW

The Vauxhall Astra presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 14 May 2025 at 134,854 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in May 2024 and May 2023 also achieved passes with no advisories or faults listed. The record shows no worsening mechanical condition across the observed period. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's 20-year age, averaging roughly 6,743 miles per year. The odometer moved from 121,553 miles at the failed May 2023 attempt to 134,854 miles by May 2025, a gain of 13,301 miles over two years. The DVSA data is sparse, showing only clean passes and two same-month failures with no defects recorded, which limits insight into owner care beyond punctual testing. The May 2024 and May 2023 entries each show a failed test on the same day or within eight days of a pass at near-identical mileages, with no defects cited. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the car's age and 134,854 miles. No recurring advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity appear in the official record. The absence of flagged wear implies either diligent consumable replacement or tests conducted without deep reporting. Verify the true condition of binding calipers and chassis weld points before purchase.
