2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DA07 XYX

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy at its most recent examination. The June 2025 test at 115,388 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable with no escalating faults. The prior two years also closed on passes, so the vehicle shows no worsening mechanical drift in the official record. Annual mileage sits at a modest 6,073 miles against the car's 19-year life, a figure consistent with light general use. The records show 93,354 miles in June 2023, 105,277 miles in June 2024, and 115,388 miles in June 2025, giving roughly 10,000 to 12,000 miles per year between tests. That is a gentle accumulation for a 2007 hatchback and implies lower than average drivetrain strain, though the sparse three-year span limits deeper wear analysis. The DVSA entries flag no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. The June 2024 and June 2023 dates each show a fail immediately followed by a pass at identical mileages with no defects listed, a pattern that points to administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than rectified mechanical faults. Previous keepers appear to have kept the car to a basic pass standard without deferred consumable neglect showing in the data. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's age and Vauxhall's known sill and subframe vulnerability. Verify the brake calipers are free, check tyre sidewall dates, and confirm the suspension mounts are sound despite the clean record. The absence of advisories does not exempt a 19-year-old car from age-related degradation the MOT did not capture.
