2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DD10 SMD

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 3 October 2025 at 51,026 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, showing clean passes in 2023 and 2024 alongside the latest result. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any stage, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Recorded mileage sits at 51,026 against a 2017 build, equating to roughly 5,670 miles per year. The October 2023 test logged 38,796 miles, rising to 45,664 by October 2024 and 51,025 by October 2025. Annual accumulation held near 6,000 to 6,300 miles with no abrupt jumps or standing gaps. The low overall figure suggests light use, though the sparse record offers no visibility of interim servicing or consumable replacement between tests. The repeated fail-pass pairs on 3 to 4 October 2024 and 2 to 3 October 2025, both showing no defects recorded, point to administrative or presentation issues at initial submission rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still verify suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for age-related corrosion given the nine-year span. Confirm exhaust emissions and structural integrity beneath sills and arches, as low mileage cars left standing can develop hidden rust the MOT did not flag. In person, inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as these consumables degrade with time irrespective of miles. Check wiper blades and fluid levels. The clean history implies prior owners kept the car to test standard, but a pre-purchase inspection remains warranted to confirm no latent wear escaped the annual examination.
