2007 Vauxhall Astravan 1.7L Diesel · AP07 KWX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes over the last six years. The most recent inspection in October 2021 at 187,698 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This trend suggests a consistent level of basic maintenance and that the vehicle has been maintained to meet minimum safety standards during the testing periods. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year. There is a notable increase of 20,848 miles recorded between July 2019 and November 2020, indicating a period of higher usage compared to the more modest annual increments of roughly 13,000 to 17,000 miles seen in earlier years. However, the total distance of nearly 188,000 miles places significant wear on the mechanical components of a vehicle of this era. While the MOT history is clean, the high mileage and vehicle age necessitate a thorough physical inspection of areas prone to fatigue and corrosion. A buyer should specifically examine the chassis for structural rust, particularly in the sills and floor pans, which are common failure points for this model. Given the distance travelled, a close look at the suspension bushings, dampers, and braking components is essential to ensure there is no significant mechanical play that was not captured during the stationary MOT tests.
