2002 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · HF52 LCN

The 2002 Vauxhall Astra presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 6 November 2025 at 79,221 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of passes with no advisories or failures logged by DVSA. Annual tests from 2021 to 2025 show consistent low yearly use. The car covered 48,355 miles in November 2021, then 53,087 in 2022, 60,616 in 2023, 68,648 in 2024, and 79,221 in 2025. That equates to roughly 3,300 miles per year across a 24-year-old vehicle, confirming light use with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes in the record. The absence of any flagged items means no recurring suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues appear in the data. A clean sheet across five tests suggests the previous owner kept basic consumable and mechanical upkeep current rather than deferring work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframes, and suspension mounts for structural rust not visible to MOT testers on a ramp-limited check, and verify tyre sidewall condition given long static intervals between short trips. The low mileage implies aged rubber and fluid components may require renewal regardless of the spotless test history.
