2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.2L Diesel · FN07 OGZ

The vehicle shows a stable recent MOT history, with the most recent test on 22 November 2023 resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows two consecutive clean passes in November 2022 and November 2021. The single failure recorded on 27 October 2021 did not result in any listed defects, suggesting the issue was rectified immediately to meet the passing standard in the subsequent test. The recorded mileage of 187,220 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 9,854 miles over the vehicle's lifespan. This level of mileage is consistent with typical long-term usage for a 2007 model. There are no significant gaps or unexplained spikes in mileage between the recorded test dates provided, indicating a steady pattern of use rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden heavy-duty application. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the vehicle's underside to check for structural corrosion, particularly on the sills and subframes, which is common for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the recent MOT records are clear of advisories, the high mileage necessitates a close examination of suspension bushes, coil springs, and drive shafts for signs of wear or perished rubber. The braking system should also be checked for binding calipers or unevenly worn brake discs. Although no issues were flagged in the 2023 test, the cumulative mileage increases the likelihood of wear on consumables such as tyres and brake pads. An inspection of the exhaust system for corrosion or mounting failures is also advised to ensure the integrity of the emissions components.
