2002 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · KD02 JUX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection. The MOT conducted on 02 July 2025 at 82,758 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the Astra currently meets minimum legal standards. While the vehicle failed a test in June 2024 at 81,665 miles, the immediate retest pass that same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing a trend of neglect. The mileage profile is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,448 miles per year. Between June 2022 and July 2025, the car covered only 4,848 miles, confirming a consistent pattern of light use. This low mileage generally implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain compared to high-mile counterparts, though long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals that are not captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as Vauxhall models from this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear floor pans. Despite the clean MOT history, the low mileage suggests that components such as suspension bushes and tyres may crack or perish due to age rather than wear. Check the brake discs for signs of pitting or surface rust, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion on the braking system.
