2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · NL17 FMM

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend across its recorded history. The most recent test conducted on 14 April 2025 at 13,492 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the Astra is currently in a technically sound condition. This clean result mirrors the outcomes of previous tests, suggesting a history of consistent upkeep and no significant mechanical failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging 1,500 miles per year. There is a notable four-year gap between the April 2020 test and the May 2024 test, during which the car covered only a small fraction of its total life. Between 2024 and 2025, the vehicle covered another 4,317 miles in just thirteen months. While this low usage reduces wear and tear on the drivetrain and suspension components, the long intervals of inactivity suggest that the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage, long-term storage. Check the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or seizing, which often occurs when vehicles are not used frequently. Examine the rubber elements, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, for cracking as age affects these materials regardless of low mileage. Despite the clean MOT record, verifying the condition of the fluids and the battery belt is essential to ensure that degradation has not occurred during the periods of disuse.
