2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DP67 HCF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 97,079 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs to a stable state. While the vehicle failed in 2024 due to exhaust and tyre issues, the lack of advisories in the latest test suggests that the current owner has addressed the outstanding mechanical concerns and is maintaining a consistent standard of basic upkeep. At 97,079 miles over eight years, this Astra has covered significantly more than the average distance, averaging over twelve thousand miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with approximately 12,500 miles driven between January 2023 and January 2024, and another 15,000 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025. This high mileage puts accelerated stress on wear-related components, particularly the drivetrain and suspension, which typically require more frequent inspection than lower-mileage vehicles. A buyer should pay close attention to the exhaust system, as a minor leak in the middle box was flagged in 2024 at 70,009 miles. Although it passed the subsequent test, physical inspection is required to ensure the manifold or hangers have developed further corrosion. The 2025 test also noted pitted and scored front brake discs at 82,182 miles. Given the high mileage, the thickness of the discs and the condition of the calipers should be verified to ensure they are not nearing another failure. The history of perished tyres in 2023 and low tread in 2024 indicates a period of neglect regarding consumable items, so a thorough check of the current tyre sidewalls and brands is essential.
