2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · KA07 AET

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status based on its most recent MOT pass on 28 January 2025. The record shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded defects or advisories over the last three years. This suggests the car has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements, though the lack of any recorded advisories on a nineteen year old vehicle is unusual. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 10,208 miles per year. Between the February 2023 test at 175,805 miles and the January 2025 test at 193,956 miles, the vehicle covered 18,151 miles. This steady usage indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural corrosion and suspension wear. While the MOT history is clean, the record does not provide a detailed service history. At nearly 194,000 miles, critical components such as timing belts, water pumps, and clutch wear are primary concerns that the MOT test does not comprehensively evaluate. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue. Given the age and mileage, the buyer should also inspect the underbody for rust, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, as these areas often deteriorate before they trigger a formal MOT failure.
