Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the last rec
The most critical point for a buyer is the gap in MOT history from May 2022 to the present. You must ensure the vehicle has a current, valid MOT before purchase. Given the 144,061 miles on the clock, request full service records to verify that the 1.8L engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals, specifically regarding oil changes and timing belt replacements.
Negotiate the price based on the age of the vehicle and the likelihood of immediate maintenance requirements. Ensure that any missing MOT years are explained, as a long period of inactivity can lead to perished tyres and seized brake components.
The 1.8L petrol engine typically incurs higher fuel costs and a higher road tax band than the smaller engine options in the Astra range. Insurance costs should be moderate, reflecting the vehicle's age and engine size.
Maintenance costs are expected to be higher for this specific car due to its high mileage. Typical expenses will include tyre replacements and potential suspension work. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, is approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Carefully inspect the lighting system, particularly the rear fog lamps, as this was the cause of the 2022 MOT failure. In line with aggregate data for this model, check the condition of the headlamps and the tread depth and age of the tyres, as these are common failure points for the Astra.
Check the dashboard for any warning lights; 'engine mil inoperative' is a noted common failure for this model, so ensure the engine management system is functioning correctly. Given the mileage, inspect the underside for oil leaks and check the suspension for excessive play or wear.
This silver 2006 Vauxhall Astra 1.8L petrol has a recorded mileage of 144,061 miles. The MOT history shows a failure in May 2022 due to a faulty offside rear fog lamp, which was resolved on the same day. There are no MOT records provided for the period between 2022 and 2026.
The Vauxhall Astra has an average MOT pass rate of 78.0%, with frequent failures related to headlamps, tyres, and engine management lights.
