2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · GL17 XFS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 64,840 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories, indicating the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of consistent passing over the previous three years, suggesting that the owner has addressed necessary requirements rather than allowing minor faults to accumulate. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per annum. Between September 2022 and September 2023, the car covered 5,160 miles, reflecting a period of lower usage. However, the usage increased significantly between 2023 and 2024, where 11,852 miles were recorded in a single year. This spike in activity explains the minor failure noted in September 2024, though the vehicle passed the re-test just two miles later on the same day. While the history is largely clean, the failure recorded in September 2024 at 44,347 miles warrants a brief inquiry into what specific component was rectified. Since the subsequent tests showed no advisories, the buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear items that do not always trigger an MOT failure until failure. Given the vehicle has reached nearly 65,000 miles, a close look at the suspension bushes for signs of cracking and the condition of brake discs is advisable, as these are common points of degradation on the Astra at this mileage bracket.
