2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FN57 WWH

The 2007 Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 January 2025 at 102,128 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests from December 2021 through January 2024 also returned clean sheets. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-entry record, so the vehicle shows no worsening or recurring defect pattern across the observed period. Mileage sits low for a 19-year-old car at 102,128 total, averaging roughly 5,375 miles per year. The record shows gentle annual use: 92,902 miles in December 2021, 96,407 by January 2023, 99,860 by January 2024, and 102,128 by January 2025. A one-day failure on 4 January 2023 at 96,407 miles preceded the pass next day with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a repair requirement. No gap exceeds roughly twelve months, and accumulation stays consistent at under 3,300 miles yearly. Given the clean history, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the Astra of this era is prone to hidden rust not always caught in a pass. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related fatigue despite no tester flags. Low mileage with long standing periods can dry seals and flat-spot tyres, so check rubber components and tread condition closely.
