2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DA07 UBV

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent July 2025 pass at 130,620 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three annual cycles. The July 2025 test logged a pass and a same-day fail with no defects recorded on either, repeating a pattern seen at the June 2024 test where a fail at 120,703 miles and a pass at 120,708 miles were both recorded with no faults cited. This administrative quirk rather than mechanical defect points to clerical or process anomalies at the testing station, not worsening vehicle condition. At roughly 19 years old the car shows 130,620 miles, an average of about 6,875 miles per year which is typical for the age. Mileage moved from 118,005 in June 2023 to 120,708 by June 2024, then to 130,620 by July 2025, reflecting low annual use with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA record is sparse and clean, carrying no advisories or noted wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust, or structure across all listed entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of corrosion on sills and subframes, given the vehicle's 2007 build and absence of any recorded underbody checks in the MOT data. The brake discs, calipers, and coil springs should be visually assessed for binding or fatigue not captured by the pass results. The repeated same-day fail and pass entries with zero defects suggest the test centre's records are unreliable, so verifying the V5C and any service invoices remains prudent before purchase.
