2006 Vauxhall Astra 1.8L Petrol · DV06 AHN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 20 March 2026 at 115,435 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests over the last three years, suggesting the car is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is notably low for a twenty year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,772 miles per year. Between 27 March 2024 and 20 March 2026, the odometer increased by 3,092 miles. This low annual usage suggests the car has seen light duty, though it can sometimes indicate periods of standing which may affect rubber components and fluid degradation. The MOT history is unusually clean for a 2006 model, showing no recorded advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear across multiple tests. While the records for March 2024 and March 2025 show initial failures followed by immediate passes at the same mileage, the lack of specific defect data in the record makes it impossible to determine if these were minor administrative errors or mechanical faults. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas typically prone to age-related decay that MOT testers might overlook on a low-mileage car. Check for perished tyre sidewalls and the condition of the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion. Given the age of the chassis, a thorough check for structural rust on the sills and suspension mounting points is essential to ensure the absence of corrosion that has not yet been flagged as a failure.
