Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Given the mileage has exceeded 100,000, you should scrutinize the service history for evidence of major component replacements. Negotiate the price based on the recent pattern of wear-and-tear failures; the February 2026 MOT failure for brake pads (<1.5mm), discs, and multiple tyres suggests a lack of preventative maintenance prior to the test.
Ensure that the repairs carried out to pass the February 2026 MOT were performed to a high standard and not merely the minimum required to pass. Check for invoices relating to the new brake discs, pads, and tyres to confirm the quality of parts used.
The 1399cc petrol engine provides a balance of performance and economy, though fuel costs will be higher than diesel alternatives. It falls into a standard insurance group for a family hatchback, and tax is based on 2017 petrol emissions standards.
Maintenance costs are expected to rise as the vehicle ages and mileage increases. With the odometer over 100k, you should budget for more frequent replacement of wear-and-tear items such as suspension components and braking systems.
Pay close attention to the front suspension; the most recent MOT recorded light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber, which may indicate an impending failure. Inspect the tyres for even wear, as the history shows repeated issues with tyres worn close to the legal limit on both the front and rear axles.
Verify the operation of all exterior lighting and the windscreen washer system, as these were specific failure points in February 2026. Finally, check the condition of the brake discs to ensure the replacements installed after the 2026 failure are in good health.
This silver 2017 Vauxhall Astra has covered 103,270 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history shows a comprehensive failure in February 2026 involving brakes, lighting, and tyres, though these were rectified for a pass the following day. The vehicle's records reflect common failure patterns seen across the wider Astra model range.
The Astra has an average MOT pass rate of 78.0%, with common failure points including headlamps and tyres.
