2005 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FL05 XEB

The Vauxhall Astra shows a contradictory roadworthiness picture at its most recent recorded test. On 10 November 2021 at 206,047 miles the vehicle both passed and failed on the same day with no defects recorded by the tester. This duplicated entry suggests an administrative anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical fault, but the absence of a valid clear pass leaves the current status unverified. The maintenance trend cannot be assessed as stable, worsening, or improving due to the single dated record and the lack of any advisories or failures with stated causes. The odometer stood at 206,047 miles on 10 November 2021, equating to roughly 9,812 miles per year across the car's 21-year life, which is typical for a 2005 vehicle. No earlier or later tests appear in the supplied history, so we cannot trace accumulation rates or identify gaps. The record is sparse and clean beyond the same-day pass-fail duplication, offering little insight into owner care patterns over time. A buyer must commission a fresh MOT and physical inspection before purchase. The 2021 anomaly means the roadworthiness certificate may not be valid despite the pass marker. With 206,047 miles on a 2005 chassis, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion warrant close examination. Given the high mileage and 16-month gap to today's date of 8 July 2026, expect worn consumables and possible structural fatigue unseen in the record. Confirm the V5C matches the 206,047-mile figure and check for undocumented repair work behind the conflicting 2021 entries.
