2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · FP07 HMC

The most recent MOT test on 15 September 2025 at 128,103 miles passed with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and resolving, with the vehicle passing cleanly every year since 2022. An anomaly exists in the 28 August 2024 record, showing a failure at 119,610 miles with no defects listed, followed immediately by a pass at 119,611 miles. This indicates a minor, swiftly rectified issue rather than a persistent mechanical fault. The 2007 Vauxhall Astra has accumulated 128,103 miles over nineteen years, equating to roughly 6,742 miles annually. This mileage profile is entirely typical for its age. Analyzing the intervals reveals consistent usage. Between 23 August 2022 and 29 August 2023, the odometer advanced by 4,894 miles. The subsequent year to 28 August 2024 saw 8,570 miles added, and the final interval to 15 September 2025 recorded 8,492 miles. No significant gaps or rapid accumulations appear in the data, ruling out prolonged periods of inactivity or unusually high recent wear. Despite the entirely clean MOT record, a nineteen-year-old vehicle demands a rigorous physical inspection. Buyers must assess the structural integrity of the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points for corrosion, as these areas commonly deteriorate on older Astras without necessarily triggering an MOT failure until advanced. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, and check the brake discs and calipers for signs of binding or lipping. The exhaust system requires close scrutiny for corrosion, particularly at the flexi-joint and mounting rubbers. Inspect the tyres for age-related cracking and uneven wear, which can indicate underlying tracking or suspension geometry issues not captured in the defect-free test history.
