2006 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DE06 DLV

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 20 March 2026 at 77,016 miles, with the maintenance trend holding stable across the recent record. The test history shows no defects logged at any stage, and the latest pass clears the vehicle for road use. A failed entry on the same date carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 77,016 miles for a 2006 model, equating to roughly 3,851 miles per year. The odometer moved from 71,077 miles at the 1 March 2024 test to 73,456 miles by 11 March 2025, then to 77,016 miles by 20 March 2026. Annual accumulation stays low and consistent, with no gaps or sudden surges. Such light use over twenty years often means prolonged standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen. The clean advisory sheet gives no flagged items for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity across all three years. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounts, as MOT passes on low-mileage cars can miss incipient rust where the tester finds no testable failure. Check tyre sidewalls and brake calipers for stiffness from disuse. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing without neglect, given the uninterrupted pass record since 2024. The twin failed entries with zero defects suggest clerical errors at the testing station rather than deferred maintenance. Verify the V5C and service book to confirm the standing periods were not masking undocumented accident damage.
