2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · AU67 ATZ

This Vauxhall Astra is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 July 2026 at 131,274 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2023, suggesting the vehicle is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The vehicle has covered significant distance for its age, averaging roughly 14,586 miles per year. Mileage accumulation has remained steady and high, increasing from 51,895 miles in August 2020 to 131,274 miles by July 2026. The lack of significant gaps in the testing cycle or sudden spikes in mileage indicates the car has been used consistently as a high-mileage commuter. The historical record is remarkably clean for a vehicle of this mileage. A minor failure on 14 July 2022 at 90,127 miles for an incorrectly fitted headlamp bulb was resolved on the same day. The only technical concern appeared in the July 2021 test at 70,120 miles, where the tester noted a fluctuating offside front service brake. While this was passed as not excessive, it indicates a potential early sign of caliper or disc wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components typical for a 131,000-mile chassis. While the MOT record shows no recent advisories, the high mileage suggests the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain mounts may be nearing the end of their service life. Checking for brake disc lip wear and ensuring there is no structural corrosion on the sills or subframes is recommended, as these are common failure points for this model that may not yet have surfaced in the DVSA data.
