2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · DX17 BVH

This Vauxhall Astra presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 13 November 2025 at 89,822 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered approximately 14,981 miles between the July 2023 test at 70,841 miles and the June 2024 test at 85,038 miles, suggesting a period of heavier use. Since then, the mileage has stabilised, adding only 4,784 miles over the subsequent 17 months leading up to the November 2025 inspection. The absence of advisories across multiple years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. There are no recorded trends of failing suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues. The failure on 20 June 2024 was resolved on the same day, which is typical for minor consumable items that do not warrant a detailed record. A physical inspection should focus on general wear and tear not captured by the MOT. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the depth of the brake pads, as these consumables may be nearing the end of their life given the 89,822 total mileage. Inspect the chassis and wheel arches for surface corrosion, as the MOT record does not explicitly mention structural integrity, though no failures were flagged.
