2006 Vauxhall Astravan 1.7L Diesel · SK06 DHA

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, following a successful MOT test on July 22 2025 at 88,349 miles where no defects were recorded. This result rectifies a failure from October 2024 at 87,346 miles, indicating that the owner addressed necessary issues to regain compliance. The overall history suggests a vehicle that has been maintained to a functional standard without evidence of escalating mechanical failure or structural degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,417 miles per year. Data shows a consistent but sparse usage pattern, with 11,000 mile intervals covered between July 2021 and September 2022, and another 9,425 miles between October 2023 and October 2024. This low annual mileage suggests the van was likely used for short-distance trips, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and rear s sills, as older Astravans are prone to corrosion that may not always trigger immediate failure. Given the low mileage, inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and the brake lines for perished rubber which often occurs from lack of use. While the 2024 failure lacked a specific defect description in this record, the subsequent pass confirms the vehicle remains mechanically viable for road use under current conditions.
