VAUXHALL ASTRA2007 · 1.4L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-12-02 at 84,330 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the 2023-11-27 test at 76,596 miles recorded a failure with no defects listed, suggesting an inconsistency in the data or a potential oversight. Subsequent tests in 2023-12-08 and 2022-11-18 showed passing results with no defects, implying that any issues were resolved. The pattern shows no worsening trends, but the lack of detailed defect records limits a full assessment of mechanical integrity. The vehicle’s mileage of 84,330 miles over 19 years equates to approximately 4,438 miles annually, a low figure that may reflect infrequent use or prolonged inactivity. Notably, the 2022-11-18 test at 70,885 miles and the 2023-10-26 test at 64,733 miles show a gap of over a year with no recorded MOT, raising questions about maintenance continuity. The 2023-11-27 failure occurred just days after the 2023-12-08 pass, with identical mileages, which could indicate data entry errors or unresolved issues. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can accelerate rubber component degradation. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, given the potential for inactivity. Structural rust, particularly in the underbody and wheel arches, warrants scrutiny, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to moisture-related damage. The absence of exhaust emissions data in the record also necessitates a thorough inspection of the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion.
