2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.2L Diesel · FG57 FWT

The Vauxhall Astra presents an unresolved roadworthiness concern. The most recent and only recorded test, dated 29 September 2021 at 102,207 miles, returned a failure with no defects listed by the tester. This leaves the vehicle's current mechanical condition unverified for nearly five years, and the maintenance trend cannot be classed as stable, worsening, or improving due to the single-entry record. The odometer shows 102,207 miles against a September 2007 build, an average of roughly 5,379 miles per year. That is low for a nineteen-year-old car and suggests either light use or extended periods off the road. The gap between the 2021 test and today's date of 8 July 2026 is considerable; no further MOT data exists to confirm whether the car was repaired, scrapped, or simply left untaxed and unused. A buyer must treat the 2021 failure as an open item. DVSA systems recorded no advisory or defect text, which points to either a administrative omission or a non-mechanical failure such as documentation. Given the age and low mileage, the buyer should physically inspect for perished suspension bushes, corroded subframes, and seized brake calipers from standing. Check the exhaust for internal rust and confirm the timing belt history. The absent defects give no recurring fault pattern to track, but a nineteen-year-old Vauxhall left untested since 2021 carries latent structural and consumable risk that only a workshop inspection can close out.
