2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · WF57 NHT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT pass on 21 January 2025 at 193,173 miles was achieved with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any listed advisories or failures for mechanical defects over the last three years. The mileage is typical for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,167 miles per year. The records show a steady increase in usage, rising from 176,078 miles in January 2023 to 193,173 miles by January 2025. There is a data anomaly in the January 2025 entries where a failure is recorded at 198,168 miles a day before the pass at 193,173 miles. This suggests a clerical error in mileage entry rather than a mechanical issue, as no specific defects were cited. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must manually inspect the chassis and suspension. Vehicles of this age and mileage often suffer from corrosion on the sills and floor pans, which may not always trigger a failure if the structural integrity remains marginally acceptable. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these components naturally degrade over 193,000 miles regardless of a clean test sheet. Verify the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear. While the tester flagged no issues, the high mileage increases the likelihood of binding calipers or worn guides. A physical check of the engine oil and coolant for contamination is advised to ensure the drivetrain has been maintained beyond the basic requirements of the annual MOT.
