VAUXHALL ASTRA2007 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data, though the MOT history is significantly outdated. The most recent test on 21 July 2023 resulted in a pass at 110,652 miles. This record shows no defects or advisories, suggesting the car met the minimum legal standards at that time. However, there has been no recorded testing for nearly three years relative to the current date of 17 July 2026, leaving the current mechanical state unverified. The mileage pattern is unusually low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,824 miles per year. Between 14 April 2022 and 21 July 2023, the odometer climbed from 101,273 to 110,652 miles, showing a period of active use. The total lack of mileage accumulation since July 2023 strongly suggests the car has been stationary for a prolonged period. Long-term standing often leads to perished rubber components and seized calipers. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. While the MOT records are clean of failures, the extended period of inactivity increases the risk of binding calipers and degraded brake discs. Check for corrosion on structural sills and suspension mounting points, as these are common failure points for this model. Verify the condition of the tyres and all fluid levels. Low-mileage cars that sit idle frequently develop flat spots on tyres and suffer from moisture ingress in the engine oil or coolant. Given the three-year gap in testing, a full mechanical health check is necessary to identify any deterioration that occurred while the vehicle was off the road.
