2017 VAUXHALL ASTRA1.4L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 11 July 2025 at 80,310 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite a failure just two days prior on the same mileage. This specific sequence suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately before the passing test. Since 2022, the car has consistently passed without recorded advisories or mechanical failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between December 2022 and December 2023, the Astra covered 5,561 miles, indicating a steady driving habit. The jump of 6,191 miles recorded between July 2024 and July 2025 aligns with this annual trend, suggesting no periods of neglect or sudden heavy accumulation. This low-mileage profile reduces the likelihood of premature wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, often seen in higher-mileage city cars. Because the record shows no recurring advisories regarding structural corrosion, brake components, or suspension bushes, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the cleanliness of the underbody. A buyer should check for early signs of rust on the sills and wheel arches, which are common for this era of Vauxhall. Given the brief unexplained failure in July 2025, confirming the nature of that specific repair with the owner would ensure it was merely a simple consumable replacement like a bulb or wiper blade rather than a deeper mechanical fault.
