2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · NV17 AAK

This Vauxhall Astra presents a stable and exceptionally clean MOT history, confirming its current roadworthiness. The most recent test on 12 January 2026 at 75,797 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very low mechanical stress. The mileage accumulation is typical for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,422 miles per year. There is a notable gap in testing frequency between July 2023 and January 2026, during which the vehicle covered 23,792 miles. This indicates a period of heavier use compared to the earlier years, such as the interval between December 2020 and March 2022 where it covered only 6,667 miles. The record shows a single failure on 2 December 2020 at 31,572 miles, though the lack of recorded defects suggests this was likely a minor administrative or easily rectified issue resolved on the same day. There are no recurring trends of wear regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. The absence of any advisories over several years is uncommon and implies the previous owners proactively replaced consumables before they reached the limit of legality. A physical inspection should focus on the items the MOT does not always exhaustively test. Check the condition of the cabin filters and engine oil for signs of degradation, as the clean MOT record does not guarantee adherence to the manufacturer's service intervals. Verify the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as these consumables may be nearing the end of their life given the increased mileage since the 2023 test.
