2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · FL07 YTS

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy on its most recent test, with a clean pass recorded on 2 October 2023 at 121,854 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any entry. Two earlier failures in 2021 and 2022 were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical neglect. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's 19-year age, averaging roughly 6,400 miles per year. The record shows 111,083 miles on the failed 30 September 2021 test, rising to 116,609 miles by the 29 September 2022 failure, then 121,854 miles at the October 2023 pass. The annual increments of around 5,000 to 5,200 miles reflect light-to-moderate use, with no rapid accumulation or prolonged standing evident from the dates. The absence of recorded defects across all tests means no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion problems appear in the official data. The two failed entries with zero defects suggest the vehicle was presented without a valid prior certificate or with paperwork discrepancies, not with worn tyres or binding calipers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as a 2007 Vauxhall of this age commonly develops rust at sills and suspension mounting points unseen by the MOT lens. Given the clean advisory-free record and typical mileage, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. Physical checks of coil springs, exhaust emissions, and brake disc condition remain prudent before purchase, as the MOT history offers no insight into consumable wear between tests.
