2017 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Petrol · NA17 TYU

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 June 2025 at 20,744 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five entries, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Recorded mileage shows consistently low annual use for a 2017 registration. The car covered 12,537 miles at the 14 June 2022 test, rising to 15,151 miles on 23 June 2023, 18,332 miles by 28 June 2024, and 20,744 miles by June 2025. That equates to roughly 2,300 miles per year, well below typical averages. The history is sparse but clean, with only a failed entry on 23 June 2023 at 15,150 miles where the tester logged no defects, immediately followed by a pass at 15,151 miles the same day, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical defect. Low mileage combined with standing periods can mask deterioration not captured by MOT passes. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for cracking or corrosion that light use will not reveal. Examine underneath structure for rust, particularly on sills and subframes, since the test records no corrosion checks failing but do not confirm absence. Verify the 23 June 2023 fail reason with DVSA, as the no-defect record is irregular. Otherwise, the vehicle's history implies a careful keeper who addressed issues before testing, though in-person checks on tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition remain sensible given the car's age.
