2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DY17 PWF

The 2026‑06‑11 MOT at 101,066 miles records a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance pattern after the 2024‑10‑06 test, when only minor advisories were noted. The vehicle’s 2017 registration and 101,066 miles equate to roughly 11,230 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for its age. Mileage accumulation was modest from the 2020‑04‑28 test (26,378 miles) to the 2024‑06‑04 test (64,512 miles), a 38,134‑mile increase over four years, but the period from 2024‑06‑04 to the 2024‑10‑06 test saw a jump of 22,415 miles in four months, and another 4,139 miles in the eight months to the June 2026 test, suggesting periods of intensified use. Recurring mechanical notes include thin front and rear brake pads recorded in 2022‑06‑15 and 2025‑10‑06, persistent play in the steering rack inner joints from 2025‑10‑06, and worn suspension bushes noted in 2021‑05‑10. Earlier advisories on the washer system, headlamp aim, missing rear seat‑belt buckle, tyre pressure monitoring fault, and inoperative headlamp levelling device point to intermittent electrical and lighting issues that merit close inspection. A buyer should therefore examine brake condition, steering linkage wear, suspension bushes, tyre tread and side‑wall integrity, and verify the functionality of washer nozzles, headlamp alignment and seat‑belt fittings before purchase, as these items have repeatedly appeared in the MOT history.
