2008 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · DE08 GVR

The Vauxhall Astra presents a passed roadworthiness status as of its most recent test on 15 October 2021 at 181,057 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend cannot be firmly classified as stable, worsening, or improving because only a single MOT entry exists in the supplied record. That lone clean pass leaves the vehicle's intervening condition unverified for nearly five years relative to today's date of 8 July 2026. The recorded mileage of 181,057 at the 2021 test equates to roughly 10,059 miles per year across the car's eighteen-year life, a figure typical for a 2008 hatchback. The history shows no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps between entries, but the sparse single record means we cannot trace ownership care patterns or catch deferred faults. A car of this age and distance with only one documented test demands caution about unrecorded lay-up or skipped annual testing. A buyer should commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as Vauxhall Astras of this era commonly suffer rust at sills and subframes by 180,000 miles. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for wear or binding calipers given the long dormancy since the last DVLA-verified test. The clean 2021 sheet offers no advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or wipers, yet consumable items will almost certainly need renewal after four unused years. Treat the pass as a historical snapshot, not evidence of current fitness for road use.
