146 real MOT outcomes analysed • 52.1% first-time pass rate

2007 Vauxhall Astra Club Cdti 100

CarHunch analysed 146 real MOT records for the 2007 Vauxhall Astra Club Cdti 100. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2007 Astra CDTI is a reliability concern: only 52% pass the MOT first time, nearly 28 percentage points below the UK average of 80%, and with 146 vehicles analysed the trend is clear and significant. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so when failures occur they're typically fixable rather than safety-critical.

At 143,000 miles median, these Astras have covered expected mileage for their age, yet they're averaging over one failure per vehicle—that's a high failure rate for cars this old. Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on emissions equipment and diesel particulate filter health, as the failure pattern suggests these are where problems concentrate.

What to check before buying a 2007 Vauxhall Astra Club Cdti 100

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
