2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DL67 JZX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in December 2025 at 44,928 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a single failure during that same session due to a fractured offside front anti-roll bar linkage attachment bracket. This mechanical fault was rectified to allow the vehicle to pass with no further defects recorded, indicating that the owner is responsive to safety-critical failures when they are identified. At approximately eight years of age, the recorded mileage of 44,928 miles represents a low usage profile, averaging roughly 5,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual testing intervals with approximately 4,000 miles driven between the December 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 2,900 miles between late 2024 and late 2025. This low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to rubber component deforming if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry, as the 2023 test at 37,943 miles flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This pattern often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that could cause premature tyre degradation. The buyer should also verify the condition of the anti-roll bar linkage and brackets to ensure the repair made in 2025 was robust. Given the low mileage, checking for surface corrosion on brake discs and exhaust components is advisable, as infrequently-used vehicles are more prone to oxidation than high-mileage counterparts.
