2006 Vauxhall Astravan 1.7L Diesel · KG06 RVR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a history of clean MOT results. The most recent test on 12 May 2025 at 135,734 miles resulted in no recorded defects, following a previous failure just three days prior at nearly identical mileage. This suggests the owner is proactive in addressing immediate compliance issues to ensure the vehicle remains legal. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three passes indicates that the vehicle has maintained a high mechanical standard despite its age. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this era, averaging approximately 6,787 miles per year. Between January 2023 and May 2024, the Astra covered 1,772 miles, while the interval between May 2024 and May 2025 saw 1,369 miles recorded. This low annual accumulation suggests the vehicle is used for short trips or infrequently, which can reduce wear on the drivetrain and engine but may increase the risk of rubber-based components degrading or corrosion forming due to inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as the 2006 Astravans are prone to significant corrosion in hidden areas. While the MOT record is clean, the low annual mileage warrants a close check of perished suspension bushes and tyres that degrade over time regardless of tread. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the condition of the brake lines and the fluid quality is also essential to ensure that the low use has not led to internal neglect of the hydraulic systems.
