2005 Vauxhall Astravan 1.7L Diesel · FP05 EOH

The Vauxhall Astravan presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 253,357 miles on 8 October 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable with no defects logged across any test in the supplied record. The vehicle cleared its most recent examination without advisories, indicating acceptable condition at the point of testing despite its age. The recorded mileage of 253,357 against a 2005 build gives roughly 12,065 miles per year, a high but consistent annual figure for a light commercial van. The history shows steady accumulation: 238,187 miles in September 2023, 245,951 by September 2024, and 253,357 by October 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. Two failed tests in September 2024 and September 2025 both list no defects, meaning the DVSA system recorded administrative or unlogged non-mechanical issues rather than component faults, and the owner rectified them within days to gain a pass. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the 21-year age and 253k mileage. The clean MOT record does not rule out worn consumables or developing structural rust unseen by the tester. Verify the actual reason for the two recent failures, as the absence of recorded defects is unusual and may reflect data entry limitations rather than a fault-free vehicle.
