2006 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Petrol · SB06 AEU

This vehicle appears roadworthy based on the most recent MOT test on 3 July 2025, which resulted in a clean pass at 142,056 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, as the car has consistently passed its tests over the last four years without any listed advisories. The absence of recorded defects suggests the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum legal safety standards. The mileage is consistent with the age of a 2006 model, averaging roughly 7,103 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between February 2022 and March 2023, where the odometer climbed from 122,910 to 132,045 miles. More recently, the vehicle covered 2,889 miles between June 2024 and July 2025. This steady pattern of use indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished seals. The MOT record is unusually clean for a twenty year old Vauxhall Astra. While the lack of flagged issues is positive, the absence of any advisories regarding corrosion or suspension wear is atypical for this age and mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the chassis and sills for structural rust and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. Given the age of the drivetrain, a physical inspection should focus on oil leaks and the condition of the exhaust system. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed on the day of its pass in March 2023 and June 2024, though the specific defects were not detailed in the provided data. Verifying that these were minor consumable replacements rather than recurring mechanical faults is recommended.
