2021 Vauxhall Astra 1.2L Petrol · FH21 AXD

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 January 2026 at 38,290 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean sequence across all three available MOT entries. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in the history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Annual mileage sits at a modest 7,658 miles against the car's five-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show 28,791 miles at the 27 March 2024 test, rising to 36,875 miles by 31 January 2025 and 38,290 miles by January 2026. The jump between March 2024 and January 2025 covers roughly 8,084 miles in under ten months, while the following year added only 1,415 miles, suggesting lighter recent use. The sparse three-entry history with zero defects limits insight into wear cycles but shows no neglect signals. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items the MOT does not deeply assess. With low recent mileage, brake discs and calipers may show surface corrosion or sticking from standing, and tyres could exhibit uneven ageing rather than tread loss. Suspension bushes and coil springs warrant a physical check for perishing rubber or fatigue cracks invisible on a pass certificate. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet absence of advisories means no early-warning items were logged. Verify service history matches the 38,290-mile odometer and confirm underside structural integrity, as DVSA lifts rarely expose hidden chassis rust on a passing car.
