2002 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · GV02 DPF

The roadworthiness of this Vauxhall Astra is currently questionable due to a lack of testing data for over four years. The last recorded entry from 10 March 2022 shows a failure with no specific defects listed, which is an administrative anomaly that suggests an incomplete or poorly documented history. Since the current date is June 2026, the vehicle is significantly overdue for an MOT, and the maintenance trend is impossible to verify without a recent test result following the 2022 failure. The mileage data indicates a consistent usage pattern between 2019 and 2021. The vehicle covered approximately 3,760 miles between June 2019 and March 2020, and another 6,704 miles between March 2020 and February 2021. However, the record ends abruptly at 96,746 miles. The four-year gap in records means we cannot determine if the car has been driven high miles or if it has sat stationary, which often leads to degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid breakdown. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and mechanical wear. Given the vehicle's age and the lack of recent data, corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and floor pans is a primary concern. The buyer should also inspect the braking system for binding calipers or rusted discs and check the suspension bushes and coil springs for play. Because the 2022 failure remains unexplained, a professional mechanical check of the exhaust system and emissions components is necessary to ensure no underlying faults were ignored prior to the final recorded test.
