Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Vauxhall Astra shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded on 25 April 2023 at 135,976 miles. The most recent test carries no defects and no advisories, indicating the vehicle met the required standards at that time. A failed test logged on the same date at 135,975 miles shows no recorded defects, which points to an administrative or data-entry failure rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage sits at 135,976 miles against a 2007 build, giving an average of roughly 7,157 miles per year. The gap between the 19 May 2022 pass at 130,700 miles and the April 2023 tests covers only about 5,276 miles, confirming light annual use. The sparse history with just two clean passes and one anomaly over the final two years offers little evidence of neglect, though the limited entries leave long periods unverified. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record does not confirm condition between tests. The tester logged no advisories on brake discs, calipers, or suspension bushes, but at 19 years old and 135,976 miles these consumable items warrant physical checks for wear and fatigue. Given the absence of flagged faults, previous ownership appears to have kept basic statutory testing current without obvious skipped maintenance. Verify the April 2023 failure reason with DVSA, then assess tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions, and drivetrain condition before purchase.
