2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DX66 OGS

The Vauxhall Astra presents a current roadworthy status with a pass recorded on 27 January 2025 at 119,855 miles, though the same date also shows a failed test with no defects logged, a pattern repeated on 29 January 2024. The maintenance trend is stable in mechanical terms, as every annual examination from the 27 January 2023 pass at 98,732 miles through to the latest test recorded zero defects and no advisories. The duplicated fail and pass entries on identical dates suggest administrative re-tests rather than rectified faults, so no worsening mechanical condition is evidenced across the three-year span. Mileage stands at 119,855 as of the January 2025 test, equating to roughly 13,300 miles per year since the 2017 build, which is high for a nine-year-old hatchback. The odometer climbed from 98,732 in January 2023 to 110,674 in January 2024, then to 119,855 by January 2025, showing consistent annual use near 11,000 to 12,000 miles with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data is sparse, with three clean passes and two zero-defect fails, so no wear-driven consumable replacements or corrosion checks were formally flagged for the buyer. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity, the vehicle appears to have avoided documented mechanical neglect across its test history. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underside corrosion, binding calipers, and exhaust emissions, as MOT cleanliness at high mileage does not confirm component life remaining. The repeated same-day fail and pass cycles imply the previous owner used the test station for quick rectification or paperwork correction, not deferred maintenance.
