Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent MOT on December 17 2025 shows this 2007 Astra passed at 70,497 miles, but with concerning defects including an insecure battery and two distorted inner wheels. The vehicle failed its previous test just one day earlier due to a fractured front coil spring, which indicates serious structural issues with the suspension system. This represents a significant safety risk. A clear deteriorating pattern emerges from the MOT history. The car failed in November 2024 with multiple brake failures including pipes and hoses, then again in December 2025 with suspension failure. Brake corrosion appears consistently across multiple tests. The condition trend is clearly worsening. The progression from brake corrosion in 2024 to complete brake failures, followed by suspension component failure, shows accelerating deterioration of critical safety systems. At nearly 19 years old with only 70,497 miles, this represents very low annual usage of about 3,710 miles per year. However, such low mileage combined with these severe failures suggests possible long periods of non-use causing accelerated corrosion, or previous under-reporting of mileage.
