2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · MF67 YAA

The 2017 Vauxhall Astra presents a stable mechanical condition, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 15 October 2025 at 54,319 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a resolving pattern; the vehicle failed tests on 5 October 2023 at 41,662 miles and 10 October 2024 at 48,274 miles, yet subsequently passed without advisories on the following attempts. This trajectory indicates the previous owner addressed the underlying faults promptly, returning the car to a fully roadworthy state. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,000 miles annually. Between the October 2023 and October 2024 tests, the odometer advanced by 6,522 miles, and a further 5,949 miles were added between October 2024 and October 2025. The recorded data shows consistent, steady use rather than prolonged standing or sudden high-mileage spikes. A minor mileage discrepancy appears between the failed and passed tests in both 2023 and 2024, where the car traveled 90 and 96 miles respectively over a few days, likely representing the re-test drive following minor rectifications. Although the current MOT certificate is clean, the history of failing twice before passing warrants a careful physical inspection. Buyers should scrutinize the exhaust system and emissions hardware, as unexplained failures often stem from catalytic converter degradation or lambda sensor drift. Suspension components, including coil springs and trailing arm bushes, require close examination for corrosion or fracturing typical of this model. A road test remains essential to verify the braking system operates without binding and the steering remains free of excessive play.
