2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.0L Petrol · DY17 ABZ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test in March 2026 at 61,003 miles resulted with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This lack of recorded failures suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle effectively, preventing the mechanical degradation or structural corrosion often seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-to-moderate annual use, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Data shows a period between July 2022 at 29,295 miles and June 2023 at 32,739 miles, where the car covered fewer than 3,500 miles. Since then, usage has increased steadily, with 26,000 miles logged between the March 2024 and March 2026 tests. This low overall mileage implies that the drivetrain components and suspension have been subjected to less mechanical stress over their nine-year lifespan. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults with suspension bushes or brake calipers, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that the MOT does not fully capture. Check the condition of the tyres for age cracking, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from rubber hardening despite sufficient tread depth. Examine the brake discs for surface pitting and the underbody for any early signs of salt-related corrosion, despite the clean electronic history provided to date.
