2006 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · EX06 FCD

The 2006 Vauxhall Astra has a recorded mileage of 116,662 miles, which equates to roughly 5,833 miles per year over 20 years. This is a very low mileage for its age, suggesting the vehicle may have seen light use or periods of prolonged inactivity. While low mileage can indicate preserved condition, it also raises concerns about potential issues from under-use, such as corrosion, rubber component degradation, or seized mechanisms. The MOT history shows a pattern of repeated failures and passes, but no defects were recorded in any of the tests. The most recent MOT, on 2022-12-15, resulted in a failed test despite no defects being noted. This inconsistency is unusual, as MOT failures typically require at least one defect. The prior entries from 2021 and 2020 also show mixed outcomes, with no defects recorded. The lack of defect details limits the ability to assess specific mechanical risks, but the recurring failures suggest the vehicle may have ongoing issues with compliance or minor faults that were not classified as critical. The trend in MOT outcomes does not clearly indicate worsening or improving conditions, as the failures and passes are evenly distributed across the history. However, the absence of defects in all recorded tests is notable.
