2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.2L Diesel · LR07 AAV

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 10 April 2025 at 124,521 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of first-time passes without a single recorded advisory or failure, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent and typical for a 19-year-old vehicle. Between 8 April 2021 and 10 April 2025, the odometer rose from 119,279 to 124,521 miles. This represents a steady accumulation of roughly 1,300 miles per year over the last five years, indicating the car has been used sparingly but regularly. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest commercial use or prolonged periods of standing. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must remain vigilant regarding the age of the chassis. The DVSA tests focus on immediate failures, but a 2007 model is susceptible to structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe that may not yet have reached a critical failure point. A physical inspection should focus on these areas, alongside the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs, which naturally perish over two decades regardless of low mileage. The absence of any flagged brake or tyre issues over five years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. You should verify when the brake discs and pads were last replaced, as the lack of advisories might suggest the car has been driven so lightly that components are now aging rather than wearing. Checking the date codes on the tyres will confirm if they have been replaced recently or if they have hardened over time.
