2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.8L Petrol · KB07 CSY

The most recent MOT on 2023-12-29 recorded a pass at 107,295 miles, with no defects listed. However, the prior test on 2023-12-05, just 24 days earlier, resulted in a failure at 107,280 miles, also with no defects recorded. This pattern of alternating pass/fail outcomes without documented issues is unusual and raises questions about the consistency of testing or the nature of the failures. The MOT history shows a recurring cycle of passing and failing over the past three years, with no defects noted in any entry. For example, the 2022-12-05 failure at 102,661 miles and the subsequent 2022-12-01 pass at 102,739 miles occurred without recorded defects. This suggests the vehicle may have had technical or procedural issues during testing rather than mechanical faults. However, the absence of defect details limits the ability to assess genuine risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 107,295 miles at 19 years old equates to ~5,647 miles per year , which is low for its age . This could indicate light use, infrequent driving, or prolonged periods of inactivity. Low mileage may preserve components like brakes and suspension but could also lead to issues such as fluid degradation, stiff seals, or battery drain if the car was stored for long periods.
