2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.0L Petrol · SJ67 WMC

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following a brief mechanical setback. The most recent test on 23 July 2025 at 97,689 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the specific issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified. Since the failure in mid-2024, the Astra has maintained a clean record, suggesting the current owner is attentive to mechanical requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Data shows a significant usage spike between June 2023 (53,710 miles) and June 2024 (76,445 miles), where the car covered over 22,000 miles in a single year. The subsequent interval of 21,244 miles covered between June 2024 and July 2025 continues this high-frequency usage pattern, which places standard wear on suspension components, brake systems, and drivetrain assemblies. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that caused the failure on 3 June 2024 at 76,445 miles, although the specific fault reason is not detailed in the summary, the immediate retest the following day suggests a component replacement rather than structural decay. Given the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, a thorough check of control arm bushes, shock absorbers, and exhaust corrosion is advisable. Additionally, inspect for thinning on brake discs and signs of weeping on calipers to ensure the high annual mileage hasn't led to accelerated degradation of the braking system.
