2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.8L Petrol · EJ07 ACX

The most recent MOT on 14 November 2025 recorded a pass at 87,687 miles, confirming the vehicle meets the statutory roadworthiness criteria at this date. The pattern of alternating passes and fails over the last three years shows no escalation of defects; the trend can be described as stable, with each failure apparently resolved before the subsequent test. Mileage has risen from 82,972 miles on 19 October 2023 to 87,687 miles on 14 November 2025, an increase of just under 5,000 miles across two years. For a 2007 model, this equates to roughly 4,600 miles per annum, markedly below the average for a vehicle of its age. The incremental mileage between each test – 2,551 miles between 2023 and 2024, 2,156 miles between 2024 and 2025 – suggests consistent, moderate use rather than periods of heavy loading or prolonged storage. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of wear‑related components that the MOT record does not expose. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, confirm brake pads and discs are within safe limits, and feel for any looseness in suspension bushes or coil springs. Examine wheel arches and under‑body for corrosion, check exhaust for leaks, and ensure the steering column and steering rack operate without binding. While the MOT history reports no recurring mechanical faults, a hands‑on check of these consumables and structural areas will confirm the vehicle’s continued reliability.
