2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · KE63 DOG

This Vauxhall Astra is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 11 March 2026 at 143,669 miles passed without a single defect or advisory. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passes over the last three years, indicating a vehicle that is being kept up to current legal standards despite its high usage. The mileage is significantly above average for a nine year old vehicle, averaging nearly 16,000 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between February 2023 and March 2024, where the odometer climbed from 112,101 to 116,470 miles. A more aggressive surge occurred between March 2024 and March 2025, adding over 22,000 miles in a single year. This high-mileage profile suggests the car has likely spent much of its life on motorways, which generally puts less stress on the clutch and brakes than urban stop-start driving. The MOT record is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage. No recurring faults regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs appear in the data. The failure on 14 March 2024 was resolved on the same day, though the record lacks specific detail on the cause. This absence of advisories suggests a proactive approach to maintenance or a very lucky run of tests. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that the MOT test may not fully quantify. Check for oil leaks around the engine seals and inspect the condition of the timing belt and water pump, as these are critical service items often overlooked in MOTs but essential at this mileage. Examine the underside for surface corrosion and check the tyre tread depths to ensure they have not been stretched to the legal limit before the next test.
