2017 Vauxhall Astra SRI NAV Turbo 1.4L Other · FM66 DBV

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 23 November 2025 at 70,070 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with four passes and a single failure that carried no listed defects. The clean sheet at the latest test indicates the vehicle entered its ninth year in sound mechanical condition. Annual mileage averages 7,786 across the recorded span, a typical figure for a 2017 hatchback. The records show steady use: 52,143 miles in October 2022, 58,168 in October 2023, 63,529 in October 2024, then 69,682 at the November 2025 failure and 70,070 at the pass three weeks later. No standing gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The sparse record gives little basis to judge owner care beyond the fact that no advisories or consumable wear were ever logged. The November 2025 failure at 69,682 miles is anomalous. DVSA logged no defects, yet the tester issued a fail, implying a non-itemised reason such as an identification or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The immediate pass on 23 November at 70,070 miles with no defects confirms no outstanding repair was needed. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, and underbody corrosion given the car's age and the absence of any advisory data to confirm those areas. The clean MOT trail offers no warning signs, but nine years of use can hide worn components the annual test did not flag. Verify service history to corroborate the low advisory count.
