2006 Vauxhall Astra Life Cdti 1.7L Heavy oil · SX55 ASZ

The Vauxhall Astra passed its most recent MOT on 21 February 2022 at 182,313 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend across the available history. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or failures that would suggest worsening mechanical condition. The brief failure on 28 July 2018 at 150,810 miles listed no defects, with a pass achieved four days later on 2 August 2018 at 150,959 miles, implying the initial failure was likely administrative rather than mechanical. Recorded mileage rose from 150,959 in August 2018 to 163,356 by September 2019, then to 182,313 by February 2022. That equates to roughly 9,100 miles per year, typical for a 2006 vehicle. A four-year gap separates the 2022 test from today's date of 16 July 2026, meaning the car has either covered little distance or simply missed recent testing. The clean record between 2018 and 2022 suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though the sparse entries limit deeper analysis of wear patterns. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue given the 20-year age and high cumulative mileage. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants close checking for corrosion, as the MOT record contains no corrosion data and long standing periods can accelerate rust. The absent advisories do not confirm component health, only that the tester logged nothing at the time. Given the elapsed four years since the last test, confirm the vehicle remains legally roadworthy before purchase. Verify the odometer reading against service records and examine exhaust emissions and tyre condition, as these consumables fall outside the historic MOT snapshots.
