2012 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · NA62 VHC

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 January 2026 at 118,512 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car met all safety and emissions standards. While the history shows previous failures in 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes on those same days suggest that the owner addressed the identified faults immediately. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,465 miles per year. Between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests, the Astra covered 5,705 miles, while it clocked another 5,210 miles in the twelve months leading up to the 2026 test. This regular, low-intensity usage suggests the vehicle has been used consistently, which helps prevent the seal and corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity. Despite the current clean record, the recurring failures in early 2024 and 2025 indicate that specific components required remedial attention during those intervals. Since the provided data does not specify the mechanical nature of those failures, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, brake lines, and structural integrity. Pay particular attention to signs of corrosion on the chassis and the condition of the shock absorbers to ensure that the previous issues were not indicative of deeper structural neglect.
