2007 Vauxhall Antara 2.0L Diesel · KD57 DWX

The Vauxhall Antara presents a historically stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent DVSA test on 15 October 2021 at 119,412 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the five available annual examinations from 30 September 2017 to 15 October 2021, the vehicle cleared every test without advisory notices. This clean sweep indicates a consistent maintenance trend that showed no worsening or recurring mechanical faults during that period. The absence of any MOT entry for nearly four years and nine months relative to today's date of 16 July 2026 leaves the current condition unverified by official testing. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 2007 registered vehicle. The odometer advanced from 83,448 miles at the 30 September 2017 test to 92,613 miles on 20 October 2018, then 101,510 miles on 18 October 2019, 109,285 miles on 22 October 2020, and finally 119,412 miles on 15 October 2021. That equates to roughly nine thousand miles per year across those four intervals, modestly above the lifetime average of 6,285 miles per annum. No sudden gaps or rapid accumulation appear in the data, and the sparse but unbroken sequence of passes suggests the previous keeper adhered to annual testing discipline. A buyer must recognise that a fault-free MOT history does not exempt an ageing SUV from inherent wear. The Antara of this era commonly suffers degraded suspension bushes, fractured coil springs, and corrosion on structural subframes. With no advisories logged, the official record gives no signal of such issues, yet components like brake discs, exhaust emissions systems, and binding calipers demand physical inspection. The long dormancy since the last test means tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition may have deteriorated through standing. Prior to purchase, commission an independent inspection focusing on structural integrity and drivetrain mounts. Verify the subframe for rust perforation and check rear suspension arms for fatigue. A fresh MOT is legally required before the vehicle can be driven, and any prospective owner should treat the 2021 pass as historical only.
