VAUXHALL ASTRA2007 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on 3 November 2025 at 136,814 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates that the car currently meets the minimum standards for safety and emissions. While a failure occurred on 4 November 2024 at 128,487 miles, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in addressing necessary repairs to return the vehicle to the road. The usage pattern is consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with roughly 8,000 miles driven between November 2022 and 2023, and another 7,400 miles between November 2023 and 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than left sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of rubber-based components and mechanical seals. Despite the clean results in the last two tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points for this generation of Astra. At over 136,000 miles, the structural integrity requires a close look for corrosion on the sills, rear arches, and mounting points. You should also check for signs of wear on suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often manifest as advisories before causing a failure. Given the previous failure in 2024, verifying the brake system for binding calipers or thin discs is a prudent step to ensure the issue remains resolved.
