2006 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · RK56 TNO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 100% with no recorded defects, but the MOT history reveals a concerning maintenance trend that requires immediate attention. The most recent test on 2026-06-18 was a passing test at 91,912 miles, with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle is currently in good shape. However, the history shows two distinct failures in the 2021 and 2020 periods, suggesting that the vehicle has not undergone adequate preventative maintenance at the time of these incidents. The pattern of failures is starkly different from the passing test in 2021, which was conducted at 91,912 miles. The 2021 test at 91,912 miles was a failure with no defects recorded, while the 2020 test at 82,281 miles was also a failure but with no defects recorded. This gap between a passing test at 91,912 miles and a failure at 82,281 miles implies that the vehicle's mileage has been accelerating or that the previous owner did not maintain the car at the same frequency, leading to accelerated wear on critical components. Given the two failures at 91,912 miles in 2021 and 82,281 miles in 2020, the vehicle has suffered from significant wear on suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components that may not be fully addressed. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as well as check for structural rust or corrosion on the chassis and undercarriage. The vehicle is currently in a "good" state for the 2026 test but is at risk of failure if the identified wear patterns are not corrected before the next MOT inspection.
