2017 VAUXHALL ASTRA1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at its most recent inspection on 19 December 2025 at 80,944 miles. This recent pass, showing no defects, suggests the car has been brought up to a standard of roadworthiness following earlier minor issues. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, as the vehicle moved from recorded defects in previous years to a completely clear certificate in the latest test. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 40,574 miles in March 2020 to the current 80,944 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage or periods of prolonged inactivity evident in the records, which implies regular driving that helps prevent component seizure and tyre perishing. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking system and wheel security. The December 2022 test flagged a pitted or scored nearside rear brake disc, and a subsequent failure in December 2023 noted a missing nearside rear road wheel fixing. While these specific issues were resolved, a manual check of the brake disc surfaces and a verification that all wheel bolts are present and correctly torqued is prudent. The history also indicates occasional neglect of consumables, such as the cracked and perishing rear tyres noted in February 2021. Although the most recent tests show no such issues, the buyer should inspect the current tread depth and sidewall condition of all four tyres. Checking the headlamp alignment is also advisable to ensure the nearside headlamp issue from December 2023 has been permanently rectified.
