Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage Astra. The recent MOT history shows a clean record over the last two years, making it a sensible option for those looking for a modern, relatively low-use vehicle.
Given the low mileage recorded, your primary focus should be on ensuring the service history matches the usage patterns. For a 1.4L turbo petrol engine, check that oil changes have been performed at regular intervals, even if the mileage hasn't been reached, as service intervals are often time-based.
When inspecting this specific grey Astra, check the condition of the automatic gearbox transitions and ensure the turbocharger operates smoothly without hesitation. Because the mileage is low, pay close attention to any signs of tyre age or battery health, as vehicles that spend more time stationary can sometimes suffer from these components.
The 1399cc engine and automatic transmission suggest a balanced profile for fuel economy and performance. You should expect moderate fuel costs typical of a small-capacity turbo petrol engine used for mixed driving.
Insurance groups for this model vary, so it is essential to obtain a quote based on the specific DP18UMA registration. Maintenance costs for Vauxhall Astras are generally considered standard for the UK market, with parts availability being high, which helps keep long-term repair costs predictable.
While the most recent MOTs in 2023 and 2024 recorded no defects, you should investigate the cause of the failure recorded in August 2022 at 19,325 miles. Although the specific defect was not listed in the summary, understanding what caused that failure can provide insight into how the vehicle was maintained.
Inspect the automatic transmission for any jerky movements or delayed engagement. Additionally, check the condition of the brake pads and discs, as the MOT history shows the vehicle has been used consistently enough to require regular testing.
This 2018 Vauxhall Astra Design Turbo S/S Auto, finished in grey, has covered 30,264 miles as of its last MOT in December 2024. This is significantly lower than the model aggregate average of 8,574 miles per year, which would equate to approximately 68,592 miles for an eight-year-old vehicle. While it experienced one MOT failure in August 2022 at 19,325 miles, it has since achieved two consecutive clean passes with no defects recorded.
The Astra model shows a high average MOT pass rate of 96.2% across the analysed sample of vehicles.
