AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 14 March 2025 at 76,784 miles with no defects recorded. Across the last four tests the car has returned a pass each time, indicating a stable roadworthiness trend. At 23 years old the Astra has accumulated only 76,784 miles, averaging about 3,300 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March per year. Between March 2022 and March 2025 the odometer rose roughly 1,100 miles per year, with tests carried out at roughly twelve‑month intervals and no significant gaps. Given the car’s age, a prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the suspension bushes and coil springs, the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads, and any signs of corrosion on the subframe, wheel arches and exhaust system. Although the MOT history shows no recorded defects, a visual check of tyre tread, wiper operation and light function is still advisable before purchase.
