2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · FG17 AEO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-14 at 119,620 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. Previous tests from 2024-06-28 (108,790 miles), 2023-06-30 (91,508 miles), and 2022-05-13 (75,430 miles) also showed passes, though a conflicting entry notes a failure on the same date as a pass for the 2023 test. This inconsistency may reflect a data entry error, but the absence of defects in subsequent tests suggests any issues were resolved. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears consistent, with no critical faults reported in the last four years. The mileage progression reveals an average annual increase of 13,291 miles, exceeding typical usage for a 2017 model. From 75,430 miles in 2022 to 119,620 miles in 2025, the car has accumulated 44,190 miles in three years, placing significant wear on components like brakes, suspension, and tyres. Notably, the 2023-06-30 test recorded 91,508 miles, followed by a 17,282-mile jump to 108,790 miles by 2024-06-28, suggesting periods of heavy use. While the MOT history lacks defects, the high mileage implies accelerated wear on consumables and mechanical systems, requiring closer inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. Brake discs and pads should be assessed for uneven wear, given the vehicle’s frequent use. The 2023 failure, though unexplained, warrants scrutiny of potential unresolved faults. Structural corrosion is less likely given the clean MOT record, but a thorough underbody inspection is advised. The absence of advisories on tyres or exhaust emissions in recent tests is positive, though regular maintenance logs would provide further clarity on long-term care.
