2008 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DA08 KSY

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following a pass at 137,062 miles on 27 March 2026, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The most recent test showed no defects, though a failed test on 17 March 2026 at 137,059 miles recorded no defects either, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven failure. The odometer sat at 126,026 miles for the November 2021 pass, then 135,395 miles by October 2022, giving roughly 9,369 miles in eleven months before a long gap to the 2026 entries. Annual use averaged near 7,615 miles over the car's eighteen-year life, which is typical for the age. The sparse MOT history shows clean passes with no advisories, so the record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and 137,000-mile accumulation. The absence of recorded corrosion or exhaust emissions failures is reassuring, but eighteen-year-old Vauxhalls commonly develop structural rust at sills and subframes unseen in a pass without advisories. Verify the reason for the March 2026 failure with the test station, since a no-defect fail often points to a documentation or identifier mismatch rather than wear. Otherwise, the history implies a lightly troubled ownership pattern with no recurring mechanical trend to date.
