VAUXHALL ASTRA2007 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 28 April 2025 at 106,525 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day which listed no specific faults. This suggests an administrative error or a minor rectification that was immediately addressed, as the vehicle has maintained its compliance status without recurring mechanical or structural failures in recent testing. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per annum. Between April 2022 and April 2025, the car covered 9,743 miles, moving from 96,782 to 106,525 miles. This low-frequency usage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and braking system components. However, such low mileages on a vehicle of this age can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid breakdown, and brake corrosion due to extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as Astra models from this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear arches. While the low mileage suggests light use on the suspension, check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes which often result from age rather than distance. Since the record shows no advisories for several years, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, but the lack of recorded rust remains the primary concern before purchase.
