2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · LR07 AFV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT was recorded on 2021-10-07 at 201,385 miles, but the history shows conflicting outcomes for the same date—both passed and failed entries with identical mileage. This inconsistency raises questions about the reliability of the data. No defects were recorded in any test, but the absence of MOTs since 2021—over five years ago—indicates a significant gap in formal roadworthiness verification. The maintenance trend is unclear, as the lack of recent tests prevents assessment of ongoing issues or improvements. The vehicle’s mileage of 201,395 miles aligns with an average of 10,600 annual miles over 19 years, suggesting typical usage. However, the MOT records from 2019 to 2021 show no defects, despite the car’s age and mileage. The 2020-11-05 test at 196,862 miles and the 2019-11-04 test at 193,576 miles both passed without issues, but the 2021-10-07 test—just 10 miles later—showed a failure. This abrupt change, paired with the lack of defect details, suggests potential unresolved concerns. The sparse data limits definitive conclusions about wear patterns. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade with high mileage. The braking system, including calipers and discs, requires scrutiny for corrosion or uneven wear. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body panels, should be checked for rust or damage, given the vehicle’s age. The absence of recent MOTs means the current condition cannot be verified through official records, necessitating a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic.
