2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · FD57 KVS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test. On September 24, 2024, at 109,726 miles, the Astra passed with no defects recorded, despite a failure just one mile prior. This sequence suggests a minor administrative or a very specific component issue that was rectified immediately. The clean passes dating back to 2022 indicate that the vehicle has maintained a consistent mechanical standard over the last three years. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 109,726 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,775 miles. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with an increase of 6,633 miles driven between September 2022 and September 2023, and another 6,356 miles covered in the following year. This low-mileage profile typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components but increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading, such as suspension bushes and brake hoses, due to age and potential inactivity. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as Vauxhall Astras of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. While the MOT record shows no recent failures, the age of the vehicle means that mechanical components may have perished or seized rather than worn. Given the low mileage, inspect the brake calipers for seizing and check the condition of the tyres sidewalls to ensure low use has not led to dry rotting of the rubber compound.
