2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · CV07 NWP

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following the September 2025 test cycle, with the most recent pass recorded on 26 September 2025 at 134,583 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes and a single failure on 24 September 2025 at 134,498 miles that recorded no defects, indicating a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or worn components appear in any entry from 2022 onwards. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,083 miles per year against the car's 19-year age, a typical use profile for a 2007 hatchback. The records show steady accumulation: 115,263 miles in November 2022, 120,464 by September 2023, 127,441 by September 2024, and 134,583 by September 2025. The gap between the November 2022 and September 2023 tests reflects a delayed renewal rather than a lapse, and the sparse clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and the absence of any tester advisories that might otherwise flag emerging wear. The brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions system carry no recorded faults but fall outside the scope of a clean MOT and warrant physical measurement. The defect-free history implies previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance, though the lack of advisories on a car of this mileage and era may reflect tester leniency rather than confirmed component condition. Verify the 24 September 2025 failure reason at point of sale, as the no-defect entry suggests a documentation error that should be reconciled with DVSA before purchase.
