2004 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · CV04 HWP

The 2004 Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 April 2025 at 75,750 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the four available annual examinations. Recorded mileage sits at 75,750 against an age of roughly 22 years, equating to about 3,443 miles per year. The history shows gentle, consistent accumulation: 68,021 miles in April 2022, 70,892 in April 2023, 73,321 in April 2024, and 75,750 in April 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. Such low yearly use over two decades suggests the car spent long periods stationary, which can mask age-related degradation not caught in a static test. The DVSA record flags no advisories on tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still inspect for perished rubber components and subframe rust, as a low-mileage 2004 shell may suffer moisture damage from standing rather than wear. Verify the underbody, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding after storage. Given the clean sheet and modest use, previous owners likely kept basic upkeep current but the absence of advisories offers no insight into imminent consumable replacement. A pre-purchase check beneath the car remains sensible before commitment.
