2007 Vauxhall Tigra 1.8L Petrol · FD07 FDN

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on February 5 2026 at 102,781 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just three days prior at 102,760 miles. This specific sequence suggests either a minor administrative error or a trivial component failure that was rectified immediately before the retest, as no specific defects were logged for the initial failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, such as the 18,209-mile interval between February 2023 and February 2024, and the subsequent 12,608-mile gap between the February 2024 and January 2025 tests. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and surface corrosion on the braking system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and underbody components, as older-mileage Vauxhall vehicles are prone to rust in the sills and rear mounting points. Given the low annual mileage, check the suspension bushes for cracking and the coil springs for signs of fatigue rather than stress. The MOT history lacks recurring advisories for brake discs or tyres, but a manual check for seized calipers or tyre pitting is necessary to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing between tests.
