2002 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · FX52 XZB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 152,058 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of results suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids the common mechanical and safety failures typically seen on cars of this age. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twenty-four-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 6,300 miles annually. Between September 2021 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 39,906 miles, reflecting a steady usage rate rather than long periods of neglect or heavy commuting. The intervals between tests remain regular, with increments of 9,000 to 10,000 miles recorded per year, which indicates the car is driven frequently enough to keep seals lubricated and components free from de-rating issues associated with long-term storage. While the digital record is clean, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focused on structural integrity, as Vauxhall Astra models from this era are prone to corrosion-related issues in the sills, rear wheel arches, and subframe mounting points. The lack of recorded advisories for suspension bushes or brake lines does not guarantee their condition; it merely confirms they have not reached a failure threshold. You should also check the rubber components of the exhaust and cooling system for cracking, as these are often the first to degrade once a vehicle exceeds the 150,000-mile mark.
