2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · CV57 NLM

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy on its most recent test, passing cleanly on 9 May 2025 at 96,890 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the latest examination showing no advisories or mechanical concerns across the drivetrain, suspension, or braking systems. Recorded mileage sits at 96,890 against a 2007 build, averaging roughly 5,099 miles per year. The history shows very low annual use. A notable gap exists between the February 2023 pass at 96,692 miles and the March 2022 pass at 92,705 miles, then only 198 miles accrued by May 2025. Two failed tests on 18 March 2022 and 22 February 2023 carry no listed defects, implying administrative or unrecorded minor issues rather than structural faults. The sparse, clean record suggests light use and basic statutory testing rather than intensive mechanical scrutiny. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural corrosion points, suspension bushes, and brake discs given the vehicle's nineteen-year age. Low mileage combined with long standing periods can conceal perished rubber components and seized calipers not captured in a pass result. Verify the 2022 and 2023 failure causes through full DVSA failure sheets, as the omitted defect data limits definitive assessment of previous owner care quality.
