2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.8L Petrol · FL57 PLZ

The Vauxhall Astra shows a current roadworthy status following the May 2022 test cycle, with the most recent pass recorded on 13 May 2022 at 105,950 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, as the final test returned no defects. However, the vehicle failed only four days earlier on 9 May 2022 at 105,887 miles with no defects formally logged, a pattern that typically points to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage of 105,950 against a 2007 build date gives an average of roughly 5,576 miles per year, which is low for a nineteen-year-old hatchback. The records show a tight cluster of activity in May 2022, with only 63 miles covered between the failed and passed tests. No earlier MOT entries are supplied, so we cannot chart wear rates or identify long dormant periods, but the sparse clean history suggests either light use or missing documentation. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and suspension bushes, as low-mileage Vauxhalls of this era commonly develop subframe corrosion and worn rear beam mounts while sitting unused. The absence of advisories in the May 2022 pass does not rule out incipient brake disc lipping or perished rubber components invisible to a basic test. Given the four-year gap to the present date and no subsequent MOT evidence, the roadworthiness verdict rests entirely on a stale 2022 result. Verify the car has since been tested or correctly SORNed, and check for binding calipers or exhaust emissions drift before any purchase commitment.
