2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · FIG 3042

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 26 August 2025 at 143,902 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history. A failed test on the same date at identical mileage but with no defects logged points to an administrative or data-recording anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent pass confirms the vehicle cleared the requirement. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2007 car, averaging roughly 7,574 miles per year against the 143,902 recorded. The records show 110,747 miles on 4 November 2022, rising to 113,670 by 1 September 2023, then 129,042 on 30 August 2024 and 143,902 on 26 August 2025. The step from 2023 to 2024 shows the largest yearly gain at about 15,372 miles, double the norm, before settling back to near-average use. No long dormant periods or sudden odometer jumps appear in the data. The clean advisory columns across every entry suggest the previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's nineteen years and 143,902 miles. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but age-related deterioration in subframes and sills can escape a no-defect test. Verify the exhaust emissions and tyre condition match the clean history. The duplicated 26 August 2025 entry with a fail and pass at the same mileage warrants a check of the DVSA certificate to confirm no omitted advisory. Otherwise the Astra's documented test pattern implies consistent, if unremarkable, upkeep with no recurring mechanical faults requiring corrective action.
