2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · FP07 UVR

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test, where the tester passed the car at 118,002 miles on 13 June 2025 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes between June 2022 and June 2025 and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The single failure on 13 June 2025 at identical mileage carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical concern. Annual mileage sits at a modest 6,211 miles per year against the car's 19-year age, confirmed by the record. The tester logged 104,184 miles in June 2022, 110,021 in June 2023, 112,727 in June 2024, and 118,002 in June 2025. That equates to roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles added each year with no sudden accumulation or prolonged standing gaps. The clean sheet across all five entries suggests previous owners kept basic statutory testing current, though the absence of advisories means wear items such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and corrosion were either within limits or not closely noted by the tester. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounts given the vehicle's age and the MOT record's lack of detailed advisories. At 118,002 miles the original coil springs, dampers, and exhaust system are likely nearing the end of service life even if not yet failed. Verify the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and brake calipers in person, as these consumables are not reflected in a defect-free history. The duplicated 13 June 2025 entries at the same mileage warrant a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the live test certificate. Otherwise the documented pattern implies conscientious test compliance rather than deferred maintenance.
