2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.0L Petrol · GC17 FBU

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. The most recent MOT test on 18 September 2025 at 35,167 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean pass in September 2024 at 32,798 miles and September 2023 at 29,838 miles, indicating that any previous mechanical issues have been successfully addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a high standard of roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. The records show a consistent, gradual increase in distance covered between each annual test, moving from 25,083 miles in October 2020 to the current 35,167 miles. This low-usage pattern suggests the car has seen light service, though the relatively low annual mileage means the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary, which can sometimes affect rubber components and fluid degradation. Historical data from the September 2022 test at 27,937 miles flagged worn front brake pads and heavily ridged brake discs, alongside a split rear wiper blade. These issues were preceded by a warning regarding thin front brake pads in the October 2020 test at 25,083 miles. While the subsequent clean tests in 2023, 2024, and 2025 suggest these consumables were replaced, a buyer should still verify the current thickness of the brake pads and the surface condition of the discs during a physical inspection. Given the low mileage and the history of brake wear, focus should be placed on checking for any signs of corrosion on the braking system and underside components that can occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently. Inspect the condition of all rubber seals, suspension bushes, and tyres to ensure that the low usage has not led to age-related perishing. The absence of any structural or suspension advisories in the recent records is a positive indicator of the vehicle's overall mechanical integrity.
