2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.2L Diesel · FH07 TUP

The Vauxhall Astra presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture, with the most recent test on 20 September 2023 at 100,527 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows no worsening mechanical condition across the available history, though the same date carries a failed entry immediately followed by a pass at identical mileage, indicating a possible administrative re-test rather than a resolved fault. Prior tests in September 2022 and September 2021 also passed cleanly, so the vehicle has avoided recorded advisories or structural concerns for at least three consecutive cycles. Recorded mileage sits at 100,527 against a 2007 build, averaging roughly 5,291 miles per year, which is low for the age. The odometer moved from 88,935 in September 2021 to 94,851 by 19 September 2022, then 94,856 eight days later, and reached 100,527 by September 2023, showing gentle annual use of around 5,500 to 6,000 miles. Such low accumulation suggests lighter running or periods of storage, but the sparse record with only five entries leaves consumable and corrosion status between tests unverified. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's nineteen years, as MOT passes with no defects do not confirm absence of wear below advisory thresholds. The twin failed entries at 94,851 and 100,527 miles with no defects logged point to clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical failure, yet the tester's lack of recorded advisories offers no insight into emerging rust on sills or subframes. Given the clean but thin history, verify the bodywork for structural corrosion and check tyre sidewalls for perishing from low-mileage standing. The previous owner appears to have maintained basic test compliance, but the absence of advisories across three years means a independent mechanical assessment remains essential before purchase.
