2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · CV17 LNH

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 March 2026 at 123,599 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 12 March 2025 at 103,347 miles also showed a clean sheet. The vehicle has cleared every examined test without advisories, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the observed period. At roughly nine years old the car carries 123,599 miles, equating to about 13,733 miles per year, which sits high for a 2017 hatchback and points to sustained motorway or commuter use rather than occasional local running. The record shows a sharp jump between 19 June 2024 and 20 June 2024, where a failed test at 102,405 miles was immediately followed by a pass at 123,361 miles one day later. That 20,956-mile leap in twenty-four hours is not credible as genuine road use and suggests a clerical mileage error at one of those entries rather than true accumulation. Aside from that anomaly the climb from 87,716 miles in July 2022 to 103,347 miles in March 2025 is steady. The single failure on 19 June 2024 recorded no defects, so the refusal reason is undocumented in the supplied data and cannot be traced to suspension, brakes, or corrosion. Given the clean advisories across all other dates, the previous owner appears to have kept consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody corrosion, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm component life remaining beyond the test day. With the latest test under four months old relative to today's date the Astra enters sale with valid roadworthiness evidence. The high mileage warrants scrutiny of drivetrain condition and service history, but the MOT trail shows no worsening fault pattern requiring immediate corrective action.
