2021 Vauxhall Astra Griffin Edition Turbo 1.2L Petrol · NG71 DXV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 May 2026 at 35,509 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable trajectory following a mechanical failure in the previous year. While the most recent test identified only a minor issue with a nail in the nearside rear tyre, the overall history indicates that previous brake-related defects have been addressed and the vehicle currently meets minimum safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 21,828 miles and the May 2025 test at 28,424 miles, the car covered roughly 6,600 miles. This low annual accumulation suggests less wear on drivetrain components and suspension compared to average fleet usage, though long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to component surface corrosion if the vehicle is not driven regularly. A buyer should pay close attention to the front braking system based on the failure on 28 May 2025. The tester flagged a worn-out nearside front brake pad measured at 1.1mm, alongside a minor binding condition on the same caliper. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent test a year later, a physical inspection should verify that the caliper piston is not seizing and that the brake pads and discs were replaced with high-quality components. The nearside rear tyre should also be checked for structural integrity to ensure the nail identified in the 2026 test did not cause internal sidew damage.
