2006 Vauxhall Astravan 1.7L Diesel · FN06 HXY

The Vauxhall Astravan passed its most recent MOT on 4 July 2025 at 156,746 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the last three years reads as stable. The DVSA log shows clean passes in July 2023 at 146,636 miles, July 2024 at 152,385 miles, and July 2025 at 156,746 miles. Two failure entries sit on the same test dates as the passes in 2024 and 2025, both at matching mileages, yet the tester logged no defects on either occasion. That pattern points to administrative or presentation failures at the test centre rather than mechanical rejection, so the roadworthiness record itself is unblemished. Annual mileage averages 7,837 across the vehicle's life, which is typical for a 2006 light van. The records show steady use: 6,749 miles accrued between July 2023 and July 2024, then 4,361 miles to July 2025. No standing gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The sparse history carries no advisories across any test, so the data gives no warning of consumable wear or corrosion tracking. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 156,746 miles. The MOT omitted advisories, but twenty years of service can hide fatigued rubber mounts or surface structural rust the annual test did not flag. Verify the V5C matches the double failure entries to confirm they were clerical, not concealed defects. Check exhaust emissions and handbrake operation on the ramp, since the tester recorded nothing but the log offers no depth on component condition. The previous owner kept the van to a clean test standard, yet absence of advisories at this mileage warrants a scrutinising look at drivetrain oil leaks and subframe integrity before purchase.
