2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · SC66 EPK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with its most recent MOT test on 2025-11-14 at 117,168 miles passing without any defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the past five tests, all of which were passed with clean results and no advisories or failures, suggesting consistent care and timely servicing. Mileage accumulation has been steady but high for the vehicle’s age—approximately 13,019 miles per year over its nine-year lifespan. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests was notably longer than usual, with 14 months elapsing before the next test (2023-08-30 to 2024-11-03), during which mileage rose by 13,749 miles, indicating possible extended non-use followed by heavier annual usage. After that, usage normalised, with just under 10,000 miles added in the subsequent year before the latest test. Given the clean record and absence of recurring advisories, there are no immediate red flags for structural rust, suspension wear, or brake issues in the documentation. However, at this mileage, a buyer should personally inspect the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs/pads—components prone to wear on high-mileage diesel engines like the CDTI—and verify service history to confirm regular oil and DPF maintenance. A compression test would also be prudent to assess engine wear, especially if full service records are unavailable.
