2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DF18 KDN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 17 June 2025 at 35,870 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has avoided major mechanical or structural failures over the last five years. While the latest test flagged a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, this represents a minor consumable wear issue rather than a sign of deeper mechanical neglect. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between June 2023 and June 2024, where the vehicle covered only 2,649 miles, followed by a higher interval of 4,394 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has seen light use, though such patterns can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and brake components if the car sits for long periods without movement. A buyer should specifically inspect the wheel alignment and suspension components given the recurring reports of tyres worn on the edges in both 2022 and 2025. These uneven wear patterns often indicate out of adjust geometry or worn suspension bushes that require attention. Additionally, the brake discs should be visually checked for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from rust on the braking surfaces when not used regularly. The absence of structural corrosion advisories in the record suggests the chassis remains in good condition for its age.
