2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.8L Petrol · KA07 ACV

This Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent passing trend. The most recent MOT on 14 November 2025 at 157,429 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's nineteen year age. Between the November 2022 test at 115,386 miles and the November 2025 test at 157,429 miles, the car covered 42,343 miles. This averages roughly 14,114 miles per year over the last three years, which is a slight increase compared to the lifetime average of 8,286 miles per year. A brief failure on 6 November 2023 at 127,721 miles was resolved within eight days, indicating a prompt response to any identified faults. Despite the clean MOT history, the high overall mileage and age make certain areas critical for a physical inspection. The record shows no mentioned failures for suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, but these are high-wear items on a chassis with 157,429 miles. A buyer should specifically check for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pan, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the absence of surface rust that has not yet reached a failure threshold. The absence of advisories over several years is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage. This suggests either a very diligent maintenance regime or a tester who has been lenient with minor wear. A manual check of the brake pedal feel and a visual inspection of the tyres for uneven wear will confirm if the mechanical health matches the clean paper trail.
