2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · LG67 FTU

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over its life. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 30,166 miles resulted in a pass but introduced an advisory for thin rear brake pads on both the nearside and offside. This is the only defect recorded in the last four years, suggesting that the vehicle has generally been subject to standard wear and tear without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 3,352 miles per year. Data shows a period of very low usage between 2021 and 2022, where the car covered only 188 miles in a full year. However, a significant increase in usage occurred between September 2023 and 2025, with the vehicle covering over 21,000 miles in two years. This shift suggests the car is now used more frequently, though the low overall mileage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion from long periods of standing. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system during a physical evaluation, as the 2025 advisory indicates the rear pads are nearing the end of their service life. Given the low mileage, it is also essential to check the brake discs for pitting or surface rust which often occurs with infrequent use. The 2022 advisory regarding a cut on the nearside front tyre necessitates a thorough check for sidewall damage or dry cracks across all tyres, as the rubber may be hardening despite the low tread depth.
