Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2024 at 122,251 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of volatility in late 2023. While the car suffered two consecutive failures in September and October 2023, the immediate rectification of these issues and the subsequent pass suggest the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified faults to keep the vehicle on the road. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 122,251 miles represents an annual average of approximately 5,557 miles. This low usage typically indicates less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples. The data shows a consistent pattern of use with roughly 3,000 to 7,000 miles covered between annual tests from 2022 to 2024. However, long periods of low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or seizing of brake components, which are not reflected in the mileage alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas following the double failure in 2023, as the record does not specify the exact components that caused those failures. Given the age of this Astra, a thorough check of the structural integrity is essential, specifically around the sills and rear wheel arches where corrosion is common. The inspector should also examine the suspension bushes for cracking and the brake lines for perished rubber, as low-mile vehicles often suffer from age-related material decay rather than wear-related failure.
