2018 VAUXHALL ASTRA1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness record, having passed its most recent MOT on 25 April 2026 at 45,824 miles with zero defects noted. This trend of clean passes is consistent across the last five years of testing, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard without recurring mechanical or structural issues. The absence of advisories during this period suggests that previous owners have addressed wear-and-tear items proactively before they reached the point of failure. The recorded mileage of 45,824 miles over an eight-year lifespan averages approximately 5,700 miles per annum, which is well below the national average for a Vauxhall Astra. A notable gap in the testing cycle occurred between December 2022 and July 2023, where the vehicle covered only 21 miles, followed by a period of increased usage between July 2023 and May 2024. While the low mileage is generally positive, the brief period of inactivity in late 2022 warrants a check for potential issues related to standing, such as seized brake components or degraded rubber seals that may not be immediately apparent during a standard MOT test. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the brake discs and pads, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion on the friction surfaces due to infrequent use. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of perishing or premature fatigue despite the low odometer reading. Given the consistent history of clean passes, the primary concern remains the condition of consumables that sit outside the scope of the MOT, such as the timing belt replacement schedule and the age of the tyres, which should be verified against the service history documentation to ensure long-term reliability.
