2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DU07 WPO

The vehicle is currently not in a roadworthy state as the last recorded MOT test took place on 14 January 2022, leaving the car over four years out of certification. The maintenance trend appears declining. While the 2022 test at 114,786 miles passed, it flagged tyres worn close to the legal limit, suggesting a lack of attention to basic consumables. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 6,041 miles per year. However, the record shows a significant period of inactivity or missing data between January 2022 and July 2026. There was a period of high activity around 2015, where the car covered nearly 3,000 miles in a single year and suffered multiple failures, including a corroded brake hose ferrule and steering arm movement. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the steering and suspension systems. The record shows a chronic history of wear in these areas, including play in the steering rack inner joints in January 2021 and deteriorated suspension arm bushes in May 2015. The recurrence of these issues suggests the chassis and suspension components may be reaching the end of their service life. Attention should also be paid to the braking system and tyre wear. The failure for a corroded brake hose ferrule in August 2015 indicates a susceptibility to rust that often affects older Vauxhalls. Given the repeated advisories for tyres worn to the legal limit and uneven wear across multiple years, the wheel alignment is likely compromised, which will lead to premature tyre replacement.
