2007 Vauxhall Astra Design 1.6L Other · OEZ 3696

The Vauxhall Astra passed its most recent MOT on 7 January 2023 at 111,577 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend across the available history. The vehicle carries a clean test outcome in its latest examination and showed no advisories or mechanical faults at that point. Prior to this, the car cleared the 4 September 2021 test at 108,172 miles, also with no defects logged. The recorded mileage sits at 111,577 against a 2007 build, averaging roughly 5,872 miles per year, which is low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle. The gap between the 6 August 2019 test at 104,135 miles and the 1 August 2021 failure at 106,820 miles shows only 2,685 miles covered in two years, suggesting extended periods of standing. From August to September 2021 the car added 2,352 miles, then a further 3,405 by January 2023. The sparse record contains no consumable or structural flags across any entry. Two consecutive failures on 1 August 2021 at 106,820 miles and 29 August 2021 at 108,096 miles preceded the September 2021 pass, yet the DVSA data lists no defects against either failure. This absence prevents technical diagnosis of the rejected items and warrants caution. A buyer should obtain the original failure notices to confirm whether the tester cited brake discs, suspension bushes, corrosion, or emissions. Given the low annual use and clean final test, the Astra presents as lightly worn but unverified on the 2021 rejection causes. Standing time raises the risk of perished rubber components, seized calipers, and underbody corrosion not captured in the sparse record. A physical inspection should target structural integrity, brake binding, and fluid condition before purchase.
