2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.8L Petrol · AF57 OFM

The Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 16 November 2023 at 134,038 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior tests on 31 October 2022 at 119,671 miles and 2 November 2021 at 113,919 miles also passed cleanly. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or failed items across the three-year documented span. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2007 vehicle. The records show 113,919 miles in November 2021, rising to 119,671 by October 2022, then 134,038 by November 2023. That equates to roughly 5,700 miles in the first interval and 14,300 in the second, an above-average annual jump in the final year but still within normal used-car parameters. The sparse three-entry history with clean passes gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The MOT record flags no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, yet a 19-year-old Vauxhall body shell demands scrutiny for hidden sill and subframe rust not captured on a pass. The tester noted no binding calipers or exhaust emission breaches, but standing periods between the 2022 and 2023 tests may have allowed moisture ingress into brake components. Given the clean advisory sheet, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. Verify the odometer against service stamps and check tyre sidewall dates, as the record stays silent on wear items. The Astra remains roadworthy on paper; physical verification of chassis integrity is the only outstanding risk.
