2017 VAUXHALL ASTRA1.4L Petrol

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 27 February 2026 at 99,008 miles. While the current status is clear, the history shows a recurring pattern of immediate failure followed by a pass on the same day. This suggests the previous owner addresses MOT faults only when prompted by an official failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mechanical trend remains stable but indicates a reactive approach to vehicle repairs. The usage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between March 2024 at 66,917 miles and March 2025 at 84,473 miles, the car covered 17,556 miles in a single year, representing a period of high usage. The subsequent interval of 14,535 miles between March 2025 and February 2026 remains within normal parameters. This mileage accumulation places standard wear on components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and the drivetrain mounts. Because the provided records show no specific defect details for the failures, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection to identify common Vauxhall Astra weak points. Focus on the underbody for structural corrosion on the rear mounting points and check the front coil springs for fractures. Given the nearly 100,000-mile mark, inspect the gearbox for fluid leaks and verify the condition of the shock absorbers. The lack of recorded advisories in the passing tests suggests the tester did not look deeply into minor wear, so a manual check of tyre tread depth and brake pads is essential.
