2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DU17 SCV

This Vauxhall Astra presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile with a consistent record of roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 4 April 2025 at 77,848 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a five-year trend of flawless tests, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without the typical degradation seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. Between the 26 April 2021 test at 45,334 miles and the latest entry in April 2025, the car covered 32,514 miles. This averages roughly 8,100 miles per year, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which helps preserve rubber seals and battery health. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed heavy commercial use or sudden changes in ownership patterns. The total absence of advisories over five consecutive years is rare and suggests a proactive approach to preventative maintenance. The tester flagged no issues with brake disc thickness, tyre tread, or suspension bushes across the entire recorded history. While the DVSA record is clean, a buyer should still verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals, as MOTs do not track internal engine health or fluid quality. Physical inspection should focus on common age-related wear that may not trigger an MOT failure. Check for any signs of surface corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, and verify the condition of the cabin filters and wiper blades. Given the lack of recorded faults, the primary objective is to confirm that the mechanical reality matches the pristine paperwork.
