2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DV07 XHC

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 14 November 2025 at 135,085 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with three consecutive annual passes and no advisories or mechanical faults raised at any stage. A curious anomaly appears in the record: on both 13 November 2024 and 14 November 2025 the vehicle first failed and then passed on the same day at identical mileages, with no defects listed against either outcome. This points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than any underlying vehicle condition. At 19 years old the Astra shows 135,085 recorded miles, averaging roughly 7,110 miles per year, which sits within typical use for a 2007 hatchback. The odometer advanced from 128,762 miles at the October 2023 test to 131,957 miles by November 2024, then to 135,085 miles by November 2025, giving a steady annual climb of around 3,000 to 3,200 miles. No gaps or sudden accumulation suggest neglect through disuse or excessive commercial duty. The clean record across all three years indicates the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current without flagged wear on consumables or structure. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion, the MOT data alone offers no red flags on structural integrity or major mechanical risk. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, subframe mounts, and brake discs, as an MOT pass at this mileage does not certify component life remaining. The same-day fail-then-pass entries warrant a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed defect lines exist from those test slots.
