2019 Vauxhall Astra 1.0L Petrol · DP68 YBO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs of consumable components. The most recent test in August 2025 at 62,071 miles indicates a pass despite notices regarding pitted or scored brake discs and a thinning offside rear brake pad. While the car passed the inspection, these advisories suggest the braking system is reaching the end of its service interval following a clean record in late 2023. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 12,702 miles between January 2022 and January 2023, followed by another 8,215 miles over the following twenty months leading to the 58,884-mile test in November 2023. This suggests the car has been used for local trips rather than high-distance motorway commuting, which often contributes to the degradation of rubber and metal components seen in the records. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking hardware, as the pitting on the discs noted in 2025 can indicate exposure to corrosion or long periods of inactivity. The 2023 failure regarding an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit highlights a history of neglecting basic maintenance, so a thorough check of all remaining tyres is necessary. Additionally, verify the headlamp mounting and alignment, as the 2023 failure specifically flagged a missing mounting bolt and incorrect aim that required adjustment.
