2007 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · WM07 JZN

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 12 May 2025 at 106,878 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the three years of available history. The owner cleared two earlier failures on the same days they were logged, with the 2025 and 2024 failures showing no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at test rather than latent mechanical failure. Recorded mileage sits at 106,878 against a 2007 build, an average of roughly 5,625 miles per year. The car covered only 968 miles between the May 2023 test at 105,253 and the April 2024 failure at 105,900, then added just 978 miles to the May 2025 pass. Such low annual use over 19 years suggests extended standing periods. Sparse MOT data with clean advisories gives no evidence of consumable neglect or structural decline, though long idle spells can hide perished seals and corroded brake components not caught in a static test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or binding calipers, as these degrade on low-use vehicles through moisture ingress rather than friction wear. The absence of recorded advisories means the tester saw no immediate risk, but the twin same-day fail-and-pass entries in 2024 and 2025 warrant confirmation the vehicle was presented correctly and not rushed through retest. Check underneath for structural rust at sills and subframes given the age. Verify the exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition before purchase, since the record logs no faults yet offers no reassurance on components the MOT does not deeply probe.
