2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.8L Petrol · NJ57 VLG

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 30 August 2025 at 90,260 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with every annual test ultimately passing and no advisories or mechanical faults ever logged by the tester. The recorded mileage sits low for a 2007 registered vehicle, reaching just 90,260 miles over roughly nineteen years, an average of about 4,750 miles per year. Between the 19 September 2023 test at 83,557 miles and the 25 September 2024 test at 85,397 miles the car covered only 1,840 miles, then added 4,863 miles by August 2025. Such low, gentle use implies light running but also possible long standing periods, which can encourage corrosion and perished rubber components even where the MOT shows a clean sheet. The records show two failed tests on 29 August 2025 and 23 September 2024, both at mileages within one mile of the subsequent passes and both with no defects recorded. This pattern points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defect, yet a buyer should still confirm the V5C and test certificates match. Given the clean history, no recurring suspension, brake, or exhaust faults require targeted follow-up from the data alone. In person, the buyer should still inspect structural integrity for rust on sills and subframes, check suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related cracking, and verify brake discs and calipers are free from binding after the car's likely periods of disuse. The low mileage and fault-free record suggest careful ownership, but a 2007 vehicle merits a physical check beneath the body.
