2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DC66 ULD

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 13 January 2026 at 81,474 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The test station logged a failure on the same date and mileage before the pass, yet recorded no defects against either entry, which points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing centre rather than a mechanical fault. Prior checks returned clean passes, so the vehicle shows no escalating defect pattern. The odometer sat at 68,648 miles for the failed test on 7 September 2023 and 68,650 miles the next day, then rose to 76,905 miles by 14 January 2025 and 81,474 miles by January 2026. That equates to roughly 9,000 miles a year, in line with typical use for a nine-year-old car. A notable gap exists between September 2023 and January 2025 where no intermediate test appears, but the mileage climb over that span stays consistent with light-to-moderate private use. The DVSA history flags no advisories for tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of brake disc thickness, suspension arm bushes, and underbody structural integrity, since clean MOT sheets do not capture wear developing between annual tests. The twin January 2026 entries with zero defects warrant a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm the failure cause was clerical. Given the sparse but clean record, previous owners appear to have kept the car to a basic pass standard without neglected consumables surfacing. Verify service history against the 81,474-mile figure and confirm no outstanding manufacturer recalls before purchase.
