2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · CO02 EYG

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 5 June 2025 at 78,538 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owner has proactively addressed potential issues, preventing the accumulation of mechanical failures or structural corrosion that typically appear on vehicles of this age. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between April 2022 at 54,748 miles and June 2025 at 78,538 miles, the car covered roughly 24,000 miles, showing a regular usage pattern. The gap of 9,479 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests suggests the vehicle is used consistently, which helps prevent the seizing of brake components and dry seals that often suffer during long periods of inactivity. Since the MOT record shows no recurring faults regarding structural integrity or mechanical safety components, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear associated with the 78,000-mile mark. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil spring seats, as these often begin to degrade at this mileage despite a clean MOT history. Checking the thickness of the brake pads and inspecting for uneven wear is also advisable, as the MOT test only checks for binding calipers or minimum surface area rather than overall component life.
