2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · AV17 ADE

The 2017 Vauxhall Astra remains roadworthy with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2026-02-21 at 49,768 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, as all six consecutive MOT tests from 2022-04-02 to 2026-02-21 show passing results with no recorded issues. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns flagged in the official records. The vehicle’s mileage of 49,768 miles at 9 years old equates to approximately 5,530 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. The MOT history reveals regular testing intervals, with each inspection occurring roughly 12 months apart. The mileage progression from 34,628 miles in 2022 to 49,768 miles in 2026 indicates steady usage rather than rapid accumulation, though the low annual average may imply periods of reduced activity or storage. No gaps in testing or abrupt mileage spikes are evident, reinforcing the impression of consistent, if light, operation. While the MOT records show no advisories or failures, a buyer should verify the condition of suspension components such as bushes and coil springs, as these can degrade over time without immediate visible symptoms. The absence of brake-related issues in the history is positive, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers is recommended to confirm no hidden wear. Additionally, checking for corrosion in the underbody and exhaust system—particularly in older models—could reveal long-term exposure risks not captured in the MOT data.
