Our Verdict
This 2007 Vauxhall Astra presents a mixe
When inspecting this Astra, pay close attention to the items repeatedly flagged in the MOT logs, specifically the front brake discs, anti-roll bar ball joints, and rear brake pipes. You should request full documentation of any recent mechanical work to confirm whether these persistent advisory items have been resolved. Use the recurring wear points as a negotiation tool regarding the asking price.
Verify all service intervals and check that the missing wheel fixing noted during the 2026 test was properly and permanently rectified. Given the age of the vehicle and its history of suspension component wear, a comprehensive independent pre-purchase inspection is strongly recommended before committing to the purchase.
This 1.8-litre petrol model sits in a moderate insurance group and falls into a standard UK road tax bracket for vehicles of its era. Fuel economy will vary depending on driving style, but expect typical figures for a mid-2000s naturally aspirated petrol hatchback.
Maintenance costs should include allowances for common wear-and-tear items identified in the MOT history, such as brake components, coil springs, and bushes. Anticipate standard consumable replacements alongside routine servicing to keep the vehicle running safely.
Inspect the front brake discs closely, as pitting and scoring have been repeatedly recorded from 2024 through 2026. Check the offside rear brake pipe, which was noted as corroded and covered in grease, as well as the offside rear coil spring corrosion flagged in the February 2026 test.
Examine the suspension system for play, focusing on the anti-roll bar ball joints and sub-frame bushes which have generated advisories and failures across multiple tests. Finally, verify that all road wheel fixings are present, secure, and correctly torqued following the missing fixing noted in the 2026 failure record.
First registered in September 2007, this silver hatchback is powered by a 1796.0cc petrol engine and has recorded 91,172 miles by its February 2026 test. The vehicle's MOT history shows a pattern of recurring advisories and occasional failures, including a recent failure in February 2026 due to a missing wheel fixing alongside persistent brake and suspension wear.
The Vauxhall Astra model line has an average MOT pass rate of 78.0% across nearly 800,000 analysed vehicles, though individual examples vary significantly based on maintenance history.
