2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · HV67 FBN

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in its most recent MOT on April 8 2026 at 52,021 miles. This represents a significant improvement over the 2023 period where the car failed on multiple fronts. The absence of defects in the 2025 and 2026 tests indicates that the previous owner has addressed outstanding mechanical issues and maintained the vehicle to a standard recently. At nine years old, the recorded mileage of 52,021 miles reflects a low average of approximately 5,800 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent in recent years, with roughly 4,800 miles covered between March 2024 and 2025, and another 4,300 miles between 2025 and April 2026. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the history suggests that the rubber-based components have suffered from age rather than distance. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. The 2023 and 2024 records highlight recurring issues with thin brake pads and perished tyres across all four corners. While these are now cleared, the low mileage often leads to dry rot in sidewalls and brake corrosion before the tread is fully exhausted. Verify the current tyres show no cracking and check the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear as the previous history shows a trend of neglecting these consumables until they failed.
