2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FP67 OPH

The most recent MOT on 6 December 2025 at 104,095 miles recorded a Pass, confirming that the Astra satisfied the statutory roadworthiness requirements at that point. Earlier that same day a Fail entry appears without any recorded defects, suggesting an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical shortfall. Across the three-year window the vehicle has consistently cleared its tests, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no evidence of deteriorating components. At nine years old the car has accumulated 104,095 miles, averaging roughly 11,500 miles per year. The mileage rose from 76,920 miles at the November 2023 test to 90,730 miles at the December 2024 test, then to 104,095 miles by December 2025 – an increase of about 13,000 miles each year, which aligns with typical usage for a family hatchback. No large gaps or abrupt spikes appear in the record, implying regular driving rather than prolonged storage periods. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to wear items that the MOT does not capture in detail. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as high mileage can accelerate tyre wear. Examine suspension bushings, coil springs, and mounting points for any signs of fatigue or corrosion, especially around the front lower arms and rear trailing arms. Verify brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing, and test the handbrake for firm engagement, as the record shows no recurring brake advisories. Finally, conduct a visual survey of the under‑body for rust, check exhaust emissions for excessive smoke, and confirm that all lights, indicators, and safety belts operate correctly, ensuring that the vehicle’s structural integrity remains uncompromised.
