2017 VAUXHALL ASTRA1.4L Petrol

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT conducted on 19 September 2025 at 20,614 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This performance reflects a stable and positive maintenance trend, as the car has successfully cleared three consecutive annual inspections without a single advisory notice. The single failure recorded on 26 September 2022 appears to be a procedural anomaly or a minor administrative error, given that the vehicle passed its re-test on the same day with no defects noted. The recorded mileage of 20,614 over nine years confirms a very low usage pattern, averaging approximately 2,290 miles per annum. The data shows a significant increase in annual mileage between August 2023 and August 2024, where the odometer jumped from 5,338 to 12,466 miles, followed by a further increase to 20,614 miles by September 2025. This suggests the vehicle has transitioned from a period of prolonged inactivity to more consistent, regular use, which is generally beneficial for preventing the mechanical stagnation often seen in low-mileage examples. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components prone to degradation during long periods of standing, such as perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or aged tyres. While the MOT history is clean, the low mileage warrants a thorough check of the brake discs for surface corrosion and the exhaust system for signs of internal rot caused by short, cold-start journeys. Ensure the engine bay shows no signs of fluid leaks or perished hoses, as the low total mileage does not exempt the vehicle from the natural ageing process of rubber and plastic components.
