Description

For sale is my 2006 Vauxhall Astra SXi 1.6 petrol manual. Current mileage: 141,800 miles approx. I have owned the car since February 2021. It has mainly been used as a second family car for short local journeys, school runs, shopping and general town driving. During my ownership it has covered relatively low annual mileage, around 3,000 miles per year. The reason for sale is simply that we are a family of four and the 3-door layout is no longer practical now that the children are older. We have already bought a 4-door replacement car, so this Astra is now surplus to requirements. The car is ready to drive and has been regularly maintained every year, even though it has not covered many miles. Mechanically it has been very well looked after and has had several important jobs done recently. Service history during my ownership: * 24/04/2021 - service at 128,273 miles * 10/04/2022 - service at 131,107 miles * 24/06/2023 - service at 133,340 miles * 05/10/2024 - service at 137,049 miles * 02/03/2025 - service at 138,288 miles * 09/05/2026 - service at 141,643 miles Recent important work: * New MOT, mileage recorded at 141,771 miles * 26/06/2023 - complete clutch kit replaced, including slave cylinder, at 133,340 miles * 24/06/2023 - new air conditioning compressor * 05/10/2024 - timing belt and water pump replaced at 137,049 miles The car drives well and is mechanically sound. It has no known mechanical issues and is ready to use without immediate expense. All four tyres are Toyo Proxes. Equipment and features: * Air conditioning, working * Touchscreen radio/navigation unit * Bluetooth phone connection * Reversing camera * Permanently connected OBD2 interface, allowing engine parameters to be checked on the screen * SXi trim * Petrol engine * Manual gearbox Please note, this is an older car with high mileage, so it is not perfect cosmetically. Known bad points: * High mileage * Paintwork is not perfect * Stone chips on the bonnet, shown in the photos * Some paint wear on the roof, caused by the previous owner using roof bars/ladders * Scuff on the wheel arch, shown in the photos * Driver's seat has wear/damage, shown in the photos I have tried to describe the car honestly and show the condition clearly in the photos. It is a good, usable, well-maintained car rather than a showroom example. Viewings welcome. Test drives only with proof of insurance.
