2003 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · SF52 YTP

The most recent MOT on 21 January 2022 at 154,958 miles recorded a Pass, confirming the vehicle satisfied the statutory roadworthiness criteria at that time. With a single recorded outcome, the maintenance trend can be regarded as stable, showing no evidence of deterioration between tests. At 154,958 miles after 23 years, the average annual mileage is roughly 6,700 miles, which sits comfortably within typical usage for a 2003 Astra. The record shows no abrupt mileage spikes or prolonged gaps, implying a consistent, moderate level of use rather than periods of neglect or intensive short‑term travel. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering rack for signs of fatigue or corrosion, as these components endure cumulative stress over the vehicle’s life. Brake discs and pads merit measurement of remaining thickness and a check for any binding calipers, given the age of the braking system. Tyre tread depth, sidewall condition, and uniform wear patterns must be verified, since the MOT file contains no tyre advisories. Finally, a thorough visual survey of chassis rust, wheel‑arch corrosion, and exhaust system integrity will confirm that structural health remains intact.
