2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · EO68 ASV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-27 at 84,499 miles recording no defects. The maintenance trend shows stability in the last 18 months, as the 2024-03-28 and 2023-10-25 tests also passed without issues. However, the 2025-03-27 entry contains conflicting records—both a pass and a fail at the same mileage—which may indicate data inconsistency. Despite this, the absence of defects in the latest test suggests the car has been maintained to acceptable standards. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging ~10,562 miles annually. A notable jump from 62,598 miles (2024-03-28) to 73,083 miles (2025-03-27) reflects a 10,485-mile increase over 12 months, which is within normal parameters. The 2025-03-27 test, however, raises questions due to the conflicting pass/fail status. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident in the rest of the history, and the lack of defects in most tests implies consistent care. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age. While no corrosion or structural issues were flagged, the 2025-03-27 inconsistency warrants scrutiny of maintenance records for potential unresolved faults. Brake discs and calipers should also be inspected, as minor wear could accumulate over time. The absence of advisories in recent tests is positive, but physical inspection remains critical to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity.
