2021 Vauxhall Astra Griffin Edition Turbo 1.2L Petrol · SH71 ABU

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on October 22, 2025, at 9,174 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and safety components have consistently met DVSA tolerances without any evidence of recurring failures or escalating structural degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,835 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test at 7,068 miles and the October 2025 test at 9,174 miles, the car covered only 2,106 miles. This pattern suggests the vehicle is used sparingly or sits for extended periods, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and brake components compared to high-mileage counterparts. Because the record shows no historical mechanical faults, a buyer should focus on issues associated with low-mileage storage. Long stationary periods can lead to flat spotting on tyres or corrosion of brake discs due to lack of abrasive cleaning. A physical inspection should verify that the rubber components, such as suspension mounts and perished bushings, remain supple despite the low usage and ensure that fluids have been changed according to time intervals rather than just mileage.
