2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DS17 UGD

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 25 February 2026 at 51,934 miles with no defects recorded. This result indicates a return to a clean state following a single failure in the previous year. The overall history shows a consistent pattern of passing annual inspections without advis, suggesting the vehicle has not suffered from systemic mechanical degradation or structural corrosion over its nine-year life. At nine years old, the recorded mileage of 51,934 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,770 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests light driving, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, there is a notable spike in usage between June 2024 (37,184 miles) and March 2025 (45,483 miles), where the car covered over 8,000 miles in just nine months. Prior to this period, the mileage accumulation was significantly slower, indicating the car may have sat stationary or used sparingly for longer intervals. The failure on 5 February 2025 at 45,411 miles highlights a momentary lapse in basic maintenance. The tester flagged structural cuts on both front tyres reaching the ply cords and an ineffective front windscreen wiper. While these are consumable items that were rectified before the subsequent pass a month later, a buyer should inspect the current tyres for age-related cracking or signs of uneven wear, which can occur on low-mileage vehicles that sit frequently. Also verify the condition of the wiper blades and the motor to ensure the previous fault has not recurred.
