2008 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · KP57 HND

The 2026-06-18 test indicates the vehicle is currently roadworthy, but this date is chronologically distant from the most recent MOT record taken on 2023-02-04, suggesting the vehicle has not been tested in the last two years. The 2023 test at 120,252 miles passed with no defects, whereas the 2021 test at 117,615 miles also passed, indicating the engine and drivetrain have maintained structural integrity. However, the 2019-10-15 failure on 113,861 miles reveals a critical gap: the vehicle failed to pass the test, implying that while the engine and transmission are likely sound, the suspension components may have degraded or the chassis is compromised. The mileage trajectory shows a significant accumulation over the last decade, rising from 110,418 miles in 2018 to 120,252 miles in 2023, which is consistent with normal wear on a vehicle of this age. The 2021 test at 117,615 miles passed, suggesting the vehicle has maintained a stable mileage profile without rapid consumption of critical components, but the 2019-10-15 failure indicates that the suspension system has not been serviced in the last year, which is a major red flag for roadworthiness. Given the recurring suspension failure, the buyer must inspect the rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers for corrosion, bushing wear, or binding conditions. Additionally, a thorough check of the braking system is required, including examining brake discs for rust, checking brake pads for wear, and verifying the rear suspension for any structural issues. The vehicle is not roadworthy due to the suspension faults and the lack of recent maintenance, requiring immediate professional inspection to prevent further damage.
