VAUXHALL ASTRA2007 · 1.6L Petrol

The Vauxhall Astra shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 3 March 2022 at 94,424 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance history is unremarkable from a fault standpoint, with every pass carrying no advisories and no mechanical or structural issues logged across the five-year record span. The odometer reflects low use for a 2007 vehicle, rising from 86,920 miles at the failed test on 13 March 2020 to 94,424 miles by March 2022, an average of roughly 3,750 miles per year. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests shows 4,679 miles added, consistent with light private running rather than fleet abuse. Records are sparse but clean, with only two failed tests logged on 1 March 2021 at 89,733 miles and 13 March 2020 at 86,920 miles, both showing no defects recorded, implying administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's nineteen years regardless of the absent advisories. Long stationary periods implied by low mileage often accelerate corrosion on structural members and underbody components, so the tester must check sills, subframes and exhaust system integrity closely. The twin failure entries with zero defects suggest the vehicle may have been presented without valid documentation or with minor non-mechanical omissions, but the pattern gives no evidence of neglected consumables such as tyres or wiper blades across the recorded interval.
