2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.8L Petrol · CK07 OAX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding consumable components. While the most recent test on 2025-09-30 at 83,411 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just the previous day for minor issues including wipers, washers, and an illegal tyre. The persistent presence of pitting and scoring on all four brake discs across multiple tests suggests the owner only addresses faults when they trigger a failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 19 years old, the Astra shows a low mileage profile of 83,411 miles, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. This low usage is consistent with the observed degradation of rubber and metal components. Between September 2023 at 71,105 miles and October 2024 at 73,381 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,276 miles. Such long periods of inactivity often lead to the perished tyres and corro brake discs that suffer from age-related oxidation rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension, as the record repeatedly flags worn brake discs and worn suspension arm bushes. The excessive corrosion on the nearside rear brake pipe noted in September 2024 is a significant concern that should be checked for further structural thinning to prevent sudden fluid loss. Additionally, the engine oil leak identified in the 2025 test should be monitored to ensure it is not caused by a failing gasket or seal that is common on low-mileage engines of this age.
