2019 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FX69 AUP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-09 at 94,719 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a prior test on 2025-09-04 at the same mileage failed without recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or unreported faults, though no specific mechanical concerns were noted in the records. The absence of defects in earlier tests from 2022 to 2024 indicates a stable maintenance trend, but the expired MOT status as of 2026-07-18 raises immediate compliance concerns. The car’s mileage of 94,719 miles over seven years equates to an average of 13,531 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. Tests in 2022 (60,287 miles), 2023 (74,749 miles), and 2024 (90,878 miles) show steady progression, with the final 2025 test covering just 3,841 miles in 11 months. This suggests reduced usage in the last year, but the lack of subsequent testing since September 2025 leaves its current condition unverified. The sparse defect history implies routine upkeep, though high mileage may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. Brake components, including discs and pads, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly given the 2025 failed test’s unresolved status. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion, which MOTs rarely flag, warrant a thorough visual assessment. While the MOT record shows no critical failures, the expired certification and limited recent data necessitate a pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s roadworthiness beyond the recorded tests.
