2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · KF07 HNO

The 2007 VAUXHALL ASTRA currently fails the MOT, with the most recent test on 2026-06-18 recorded at 202,915 miles. This failure date is 132 days prior to today, indicating the vehicle has not been tested within the last two years, which is the standard requirement for a valid MOT. The maintenance history reveals a distinct pattern of failure on two separate occasions in 2022, with the second failure occurring exactly one year prior to the first. This gap between the two failed tests suggests that the vehicle has not undergone adequate preventative maintenance between these specific dates, potentially leading to a gradual deterioration of suspension components or drivetrain wear. The mileage trajectory is uneven, with the vehicle failing after approximately 186,059 miles in 2022 and another failure at 162,555 miles in 2021. This rapid accumulation of miles since the initial pass in 2023 indicates that the vehicle has experienced significant wear on its drivetrain and suspension bushings. Given the vehicle's age of roughly 19 years, these data points suggest that the mechanical integrity of the chassis may be compromised, with structural risks such as bent suspension joints or worn brake discs becoming probable. Based on the recurring faults and the gap in MOT records, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes and check for corrosion on suspension bushes. The lack of a valid MOT for over two years, combined with the 132-day delay between the two failed tests, creates a high probability of structural issues. A professional inspection is required to verify the condition of the suspension bushings, brake discs, and exhaust emissions, as any corrosion or binding can compromise the vehicle's roadworthiness and safety.
