2006 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DA06 XSY

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 31 May 2025 at 143,793 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The May 2025 test shows a pass and a same-day fail with no defects logged, a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in March 2024 and March 2023 also returned passes with no advisories, indicating no worsening pattern of wear or recurring defects over the last three years. The odometer reads 143,793 miles against a 2006 build, equating to roughly 7,190 miles per year and matching typical use for a two-decade-old vehicle. Mileage accumulation stayed light between tests: only 2,880 miles separated the March 2023 figure of 139,214 and the May 2025 reading. The record shows no rapid accumulation or standing gaps of concern, and the clean sheets across all passes suggest the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current without flagged neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the car's age and 143k mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm absence of incipient wear. The brake discs and calipers warrant a strip check for binding or uneven wear despite no tester flags. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity showed clean, but twenty years of UK winter salt exposure demands underbody scrutiny beyond the test bay.
