2008 Vauxhall Astra 1.9L Diesel · KT08 OFS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 11 August 2025 at 130,273 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of clean passes since a failure in 2022, indicating that the current owner has proactively addressed previous mechanical issues and maintained the vehicle to a road-legal standard. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eighteen-year-old Vauxhall, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per annum. Between August 2023 and September 2024, the car covered 4,964 miles, while the interval between September 2024 and August 2025 saw 4,891 miles. This suggests regular, low-intensity usage rather than heavy strain on the drivetrain or suspension components, which helps mitigate the accelerated wear degradation often seen with high-mileage vehicles. While the MOT record is currently clean, the age and mileage of the vehicle necessitate a physical inspection of common failure points for this Astra generation. A buyer should specifically check for structural corrosion on the sills, rear subframe, and brake pipe runs, as these areas often degrade before triggering an MOT failure. Additionally, the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for cracking, as these components perish over time regardless of the low annual mileage.
