2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FM17 YHS

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 10 May 2025 at 130,076 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the vehicle clearing its final test cleanly after two earlier administrative failures that logged no mechanical defects. No worsening fault patterns or recurring advisories emerge from the record. Mileage stands at 130,076 against a 2017 registration, equating to roughly 14,453 miles per year and placing this car above average use for its age. The records show 92,858 miles at the December 2022 test, rising to 116,778 by December 2023, then 130,076 by May 2025. That spread confirms steady annual accumulation rather than standing idle or sudden high-use spikes. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories or noted wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion at any stage. The two failure entries from 2 December 2022 and 10 May 2025 both recorded zero defects, indicating clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. Previous owners kept the car to a pass standard with no flagged binding calipers, worn coil springs, or exhaust emissions breaches across nine years. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, brake disc thickness, and suspension components given the high mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not measure consumable wear between tests. Verify the 2025 failure was administrative by checking the DVSA portal, then assess underneath for corrosion and check tyre tread depth independently before purchase.
