2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · WF57 VKC

The Vauxhall Astra presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT on 17 January 2025 at 113,697 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The record shows a clean test outcome in January 2025 following a failed attempt one week earlier at 113,696 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating the failure was administrative rather than mechanical. Mileage accumulation is low for a 2007 vehicle, totalling 113,697 miles or roughly 5,984 miles per year. The records show sparse but consistent annual testing: 101,525 miles in January 2023, 106,672 miles in January 2024, and 113,697 miles in January 2025. This reflects gentle use with no rapid accumulation between tests, though the seven-year gap before 2023 leaves earlier wear undocumented. Low annual mileage paired with the January 2024 and January 2025 failures with zero recorded defects suggests the car may have stood unused for periods or the failures concerned documentation rather than roadworthiness. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, as the MOT history contains no data on underbody condition across the vehicle's 19-year lifespan. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks despite the absence of advisories, given the age and the unknown pre-2023 history. The twin failure-with-no-defect entries in January 2024 and January 2025 imply no recurring mechanical fault, but confirm the previous owner addressed paperwork promptly before repassing. Given the clean trailing record and low mileage, the Astra shows no evidence of neglected consumables or serious mechanical risk in the tested period. Prospective purchasers should prioritise a ramp inspection for hidden rust and verify the reason for the two non-defect failures via DVSA failure codes before completion.
