2008 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · FN08 OZS

The Vauxhall Astra presents a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 14 June 2024 at 142,041 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable given the absence of recorded defects across its recent tests. The vehicle carries a clean MOT sheet on its latest examination, though the prior day's failure at 142,036 miles with no defects logged points to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 142,041 against an 18-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,891 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a 2008 hatchback. The gap between the December 2021 pass at 130,608 miles and the December 2022 pass at 138,383 miles shows about 7,775 miles covered in that year, then only 3,658 miles to the June 2024 test, suggesting lighter recent running. The sparse record shows no advisories or consumable wear flags across any entry, which limits insight into owner upkeep but indicates no escalated fault pattern. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the unexplained failed-then-passed sequence on 13 and 14 June 2024. The December 2022 fail with zero defects recorded warrants confirmation that no latent corrosion or structural integrity concern was overlooked at the testing station. Given the clean documented history, focus the viewing on underside rust, exhaust emissions, and tyre condition, as these items draw no comment in the MOT data yet degrade with time on a high-mileage Vauxhall of this era.
