2019 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · E26 HED

A consistently strong roadworthiness record defines this vehicle, with five tests recorded and no failures. The most recent inspection on 18 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While a test in February 2024 noted perishing on all four tyres and a minor windscreen defect, the subsequent two tests in November 2024 and November 2025 were clean, indicating a trend of returning to a defect-free state. The recorded mileage of 48,565 miles over approximately seven years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 6,938 miles. This usage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age, meaning wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and brake components is likely consistent with standard operational expectations. There are no notable gaps in the MOT history or erratic mileage increases that would suggest unusual usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. Inspection should focus on the components flagged during the February 2024 test. Confirm that the four tyres noted for cracking and perishing have been replaced and that the windscreen damage has been addressed. During the test drive, monitor for any steering pull or vibrations that could indicate alignment issues following the tyre replacements, and check for any knocks or rattles from the suspension, although no specific faults in these areas have been officially recorded. Given the absence of structural corrosion or mechanical failures in the DVSA records, the primary focus should remain on the current state of consumables. Ensure that the tyres currently fitted have sufficient tread depth and show no signs of the perishing noted in previous years. A thorough check of the windscreen for new chips or cracks is also advised to ensure the vehicle remains compliant with the standards of the most recent clean pass.
