2018 VAUXHALL ASTRA1.6L Petrol

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing without defect at 35,347 miles on 23 September 2025. The maintenance trend is stable across the available record, with no advisories or mechanical faults ever logged by testers. Two earlier failures on 26 September 2023 at 17,534 miles and 23 September 2025 at 35,346 miles carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than latent vehicle condition problems. Annual mileage sits at roughly 4,418 miles against an eight-year life, a low figure for a 2018 hatchback. The odometer moved from 17,534 miles in September 2023 to 23,603 miles by October 2024, then jumped to 35,347 miles by September 2025. That final twelve-month period added near 11,700 miles, suggesting the car stood lightly used for years then entered regular service. The sparse, clean test history gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low dormant mileage and sudden recent use, as standing vehicles often develop perished rubber and corroded calipers unseen by MOT testers. Examine underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions in person, since the record offers no advisory trail to confirm these areas were scrutinised beyond a pass outcome. The duplicated fail-pass entries on the same dates warrant a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm no mileage discrepancy or clerical anomaly. Otherwise the DVSA data implies conscientious, if intermittent, upkeep by prior keepers.
