2018 VAUXHALL ASTRA1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile according to the official MOT records. The most recent test on 27 March 2026 at 82,397 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a continuous sequence of clean passes dating back to March 2022, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a high standard of compliance without recurring failures or significant mechanical issues flagged by the tester. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical UK usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 10,300 miles per year on average. Looking at the specific intervals, the vehicle covered 7,696 miles between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests, and 6,204 miles between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests. This steady progression suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps mitigate risks of seized components or perished rubber seals. Because the MOT history is entirely free of advisories, there are no documented trends regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. While the record suggests a well-maintained vehicle, a physical inspection should still focus on consumable items that MOT testing does not always capture in detail. You should check the remaining tread depth on the tyres and the condition of the wiper blades to ensure they match the clean compliance record. Given the mileage has now exceeded 80,000 miles, a buyer should specifically examine the service history for evidence of timing belt or water pump replacement. The MOT data confirms the vehicle is currently roadworthy, but it does not account for the mechanical condition of the drivetrain or the integrity of the suspension system beyond what is visible during a standard inspection.
