2007 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Petrol · DY07 KTA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 162,696 miles recorded no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. Following a single failure in late 2023, the Astra has passed two consecutive inspections without advisories, suggesting that any previous mechanical issues were addressed and the vehicle has remained maintained. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles annually. Between December 2022 and November 2025, the car covered 18,074 miles, moving from 144,622 to 162,696 miles. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished rubber components or seized brake calipers. The intervals between tests remain steady at roughly annual cycles, reflecting a routine approach to vehicle ownership. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, given the age of the model. While the MOT history shows no recent advisories for corrosion, Vauxhall models from this era are prone to rust in the sills and wheel arches. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear, as the high mileage puts significant stress on these components. Since the record shows no history of brake failures, verify the thickness of the discs and check for any uneven pad wear during the test drive.
