2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · BF17 XSO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on November 3, 2025, at 93,706 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of stabilization following a period of minor mechanical degradation in previous years. While the latest inspection was clean, the history of advisories indicates that previously identified issues were being addressed by the owner intermittently. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,412 miles per year. There is a steady annual accumulation of roughly 7,000 to 9,000 miles between tests, moving from 62,340 miles in 2021 to 93,706 miles in 2025. This regular usage is generally preferable to long periods of standing, though it accounts for the expected wear on consumable components noted in the record. A prospective buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and braking system, as these areas have shown faults. The November 2023 test at 77,550 miles flagged both front tyres as worn to the legal limit and on the edge, alongside an offside front anti-roll bar linkage joint with slight play. Furthermore, the November 2024 test at 84,445 miles identified front brake discs as pitted or scored. While these were cleared in the following year, a physical inspection should verify that the braking components have been replaced and that the suspension geometry is not causing further uneven wear or play.
