2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DV67 EOK

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 30 July 2025 at 53,545 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and clean across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults raised by any tester. A pass with zero defects at eight years old signals the previous keeper kept the car to a sound standard. Recorded mileage sits at 53,545 against a December 2023 figure of 45,970, giving roughly 7,575 miles across nineteen months and an average near 6,700 per year. That aligns with typical use for a 2018 hatchback. The sparse record shows two paired fail-pass cycles on the same days in December 2023 and July 2025, both at identical mileages, which points to administrative or documentation rejections rather than mechanical defects since no faults were listed. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and subframe corrosion given the car's age and lower annual mileage, as standing periods can accelerate rust where regular use would not. The clean MOT sheet offers no evidence of binding calipers or exhaust emission issues, yet DVSA tests exempt underneath scrutiny once a pass is granted. Verify the reason for the same-day fail-pass entries with the selling garage before purchase. Confirm service history matches the low mileage and check tyre sidewall condition, as long idle spells degrade rubber even when tread remains legal.
