2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.2L Diesel · FL07 UDV

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 26 February 2026 at 133,846 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable over the last three years. The February 2026 test came just six days after a failure on 20 February 2026 at 133,822 miles, though the record lists no defects for either event. An identical pattern occurred in February 2025, where the car failed on 25 February at 132,844 miles and passed three days later at 132,857 miles with no faults logged. These paired fail-pass entries suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than unresolved mechanical defects. The mileage sits at a typical level for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging around 7,045 miles per year. Between the February 2024 pass at 129,030 miles and the February 2025 pass at 132,857 miles the car covered 3,827 miles. From February 2025 to February 2026 it added only 989 miles, indicating the vehicle was used sparingly in the most recent year. The DVSA record shows no advisories across any of the five tests, so the data gives no evidence of consumable wear or structural concerns being formally raised. A buyer should still arrange an independent inspection before purchase. The clean MOT history with zero advisories is unusual for a 2007 Astra at this mileage and may mean minor corrosion, tired suspension bushes, or worn brake discs were not noted by the tester. The repeated fail-with-no-defect entries in February 2025 and February 2026 warrant scrutiny of the test paperwork to confirm the reasons for those failures. Given the age, check the subframe and sills for structural rust, verify the coil springs and shock absorbers are sound, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits. The low recent mileage also raises the possibility of prolonged standing, so assess tyre sidewall condition and any perished hoses or seized calipers that light use can mask.
