2004 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · KA04 XDN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 9 January 2025 at 162,761 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the previous owner has maintained the car to a standard that meets legal requirements. This trend of clean results over the last five years suggests a proactive approach to addressing mechanical issues before they become failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between January 2021 and January 2025, the Astra covered 17,816 miles, showing a steady usage rate without sudden spikes in mileage. A notable short interval exists between January 2022 and December 2022 where only 3,067 miles were clocked, but the overall intervals remain regular. The relatively low mileage for the age generally reduces the stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. Despite the clean digital record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the structural integrity, as Vauxhall Astras of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills, wheel arches, and rear mounting points. Since the record does not list previous advisories, surface rust or early-stage perforation may have gone unnoticed. The buyer should also verify the condition of the rubber bushes and suspension mounts, as these components degrade over time regardless of the mileage driven. Checking for brake fluid leaks or seized caliper calipers is also advisable to ensure the clean MOT history reflects the current mechanical state of the braking system.
