2006 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · KV06 ABU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy. The most recent MOT on 2025‑06‑26 recorded a pass at 143,289 mi, although a fail was logged the same day at 143,288 mi; both entries show no defects. The immediate re‑test indicates the car met the minimum standards on the second attempt, but the pattern of previous annual passes shows a stable maintenance record. Mileage accumulation has been modest for a 2006 model. Between July 2022 (130,029 mi) and July 2024 (139,675 mi) the car gained 9,646 mi in roughly two years, then added 3,614 mi to reach 143,289 mi by June 2025. The average increase of about 4,500 mi per year is below the typical 7,000 mi annual figure, suggesting lighter use or periods of inactivity. The test intervals are regular, with no notable gaps. Although the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a buyer should still examine wear items and corrosion. Inspect the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for deterioration; check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding; examine the exhaust for rust holes; and look for body‑panel corrosion, especially around wheel arches and underbody. Tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and the condition of the battery are also practical checks. A visual inspection of the service log, if available, will confirm whether routine保养 was performed. Overall, the vehicle presents a stable maintenance trend with low mileage growth and no recorded defects. The absence of failures in the past three years supports a reliable mechanical condition, yet the age of the chassis warrants a thorough pre‑purchase inspection to verify that hidden wear has not developed.
