2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · EN07 GAU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The final test conducted on 30 September 2021 at 130,077 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car was in a passing condition at that time. While the history shows failures in 2019 and 2020, the subsequent passes suggest that the previous owner addressed identified faults effectively to maintain road legality. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between September 2019 and September 2021, the car covered 14,051 miles, which represents a standard usage rate. However, there is a significant gap in the record as the last MOT was performed in 2021. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle has been without a valid MOT for nearly five years, raising concerns regarding the state of rubber components, fluid degradation, and potential corrosion that may have occurred without professional oversight. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as Vauxhall Astra models from this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear suspension mounting points. Because the record ends five years ago, a thorough check of the braking system for seized calipers and the suspension bushes for perishing or perished rubber is essential. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or pitting, as long periods of standing often lead torelated surface damage regardless of tread depth.
