2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FP07 UMM

The Vauxhall Astra shows a stable maintenance trend with a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 19 April 2022 at 129,347 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met statutory requirements at that time. Buyers should note this test is over four years old relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, so the current condition is unverified by any subsequent MOT. The recorded mileage of 129,347 at the 2022 test equates to roughly 6,808 miles per year across the vehicle's 19-year life, a typical usage rate for a 2007 hatchback. The single MOT entry provided shows no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps in the odometer, though the absence of earlier records prevents assessment of long-term wear patterns. The clean pass suggests the previous owner addressed any prior advisories before that date, but the sparse history offers limited insight into consumable replacement habits. A buyer must commission a fresh MOT and physical inspection before purchase. With no advisories logged for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion in 2022, the underlying chassis and mechanical components showed no flagged risk four years ago. Standing for an extended period since that test raises the prospect of perished rubber seals, flat-spotted tyres, and surface rust on sills or subframes. Given the age and elapsed time, focus the viewing on underbody structural integrity, brake caliper binding after prolonged storage, and exhaust emissions. The 2007 Astra's front subframe is prone to corrosion where it meets the chassis legs; inspect this joint directly. Verify the timing belt interval against Vauxhall's schedule, as the record does not confirm replacement.
