2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · GX18 AHK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 2025-12-11 at 123,471 miles with only a TPMS light noted. This outcome suggests a stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle has not been flagged for any serious safety concerns in the latest test. However, the history does indicate some recurring faults that warrant closer inspection. The recorded mileage of 123,471 miles, accumulated over approximately 8 years, translates to an average annual mileage of 15,434 miles. This is significantly higher than average for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it may have been used extensively or for long periods without being stationary. Notably, the mileage gap between the failed 2025-10-27 test and the subsequent passed test is 24 miles, which is a relatively small increase. Conversely, the rapid accumulation of 24 miles between tests may indicate some usage or driving pattern that could be contributing to wear on the vehicle. A closer examination of the vehicle is recommended, particularly with regards to the rear fog lamp, position lamp switch, and front headlamp, which were all flagged in the 2025-10-27 test. Additionally, the front windscreen wiper's performance should be assessed to ensure it is functioning effectively. Furthermore, the binding rear brakes noted in the 2025-10-27 test suggest a potential issue with the brake system, which should be inspected in person. The buyer should also look for any signs of corrosion, particularly around the suspension components, as high mileage can lead to wear on these parts.
