2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.9L Diesel · KB57 FFT

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy on the basis of its most recent test, with a clean pass recorded on 15 December 2021 at 153,468 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any test. The only blemish is an earlier failure on 5 December 2020 at 146,530 miles, though the record lists no defects and the vehicle passed eleven days later on 16 December 2020 at 146,620 miles, indicating the failure was likely administrative or a minor rectifiable item cleared before retest. Annual mileage averages around 8,077 miles against the car's 19-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show steady accumulation: 131,146 miles in November 2018, 137,687 in December 2019, 146,620 in December 2020, and 153,468 in December 2021. The gap between the 2020 and 2021 tests covers roughly 6,848 miles, consistent with prior years. No rapid accumulation or standing periods are evident, and the sparse five-entry history with zero advisories suggests light, uneventful use rather than deferred maintenance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The 2020 failure with no listed defect warrants confirmation that whatever caused it was properly resolved and not masked. At 153,468 miles and 19 years old, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, and underbody corrosion are the likely wear points even where the tester recorded nothing. Structural integrity around sills and subframes should be checked for rust given the vehicle's age. Given the last test dated December 2021, the record is now over four years old relative to today's date of 9 July 2026. The car will require a fresh MOT before any road use, and a current mechanical assessment is essential as the documented history offers no insight into condition beyond that 2021 pass.
