2005 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · RF55 ACX

The 2005 Vauxhall Astra passed its 23 August 2022 MOT at 109,295 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record, as the preceding 27 August 2021 test at 101,864 miles also showed no faults. At 21 years of age, the vehicle averages 5,205 miles per year; however, the 7,431‑mile increase between the August 2021 and August 2022 tests suggests a period of more intensive use, though no evidence of neglect or rapid deterioration is evident from the record. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, verify structural integrity for rust around the wheel arches and chassis, and check the exhaust system and emissions, while also confirming tyre tread depth and wiper condition, as these items are typical wear points for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
