2019 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · NJ19 WSL

The vehicle presents a consistent MOT history, though the most recent test in April 2026 at 50,457 miles indicates a minor advisory for a perished nearside rear tyre. This follows a recurring pattern of tyre-related issues, as the March 2025 test at 38,741 miles also flagged both the nearside and offside rear tyres for cracking or perishing. These entries suggest the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or has been fitted with low-quality rubber, leading to dry rot on the sidewalls despite tyres potentially having sufficient tread depth. At approximately 50,457 miles over seven years, the Astra Astra averages roughly 7,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns. The record shows a steady progression of mileage between annual tests, with no significant gaps that would suggest long-term storage. However, the mechanical condition of the suspension was noted negatively during the March 2024 test at 32,001 miles when the tester identified a corroded offside rear coil spring. While corrosion on suspension components is common in this age, it highlights a need to monitor the structural integrity of the metal exposed to road. The steering column top bearing was flagged as slightly worn during the 2025 inspection, a component that can eventually lead to noise or poor steering feel if left untreated. Since this did not reappear in the April 2026 report, the wear may be stable or within acceptable tolerances for the time being. A buyer should specifically check the steering for any knocking sounds when turning and ensure the offside rear spring has not developed cracks or further structural decay, as previous corrosion indicates a vulnerability to the environment.
