2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · FG68 HPZ

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 8 April 2026 at 58,793 miles, with the maintenance trend reading stable across the recorded history. The April 2026 test showed no defects, and the vehicle carries a clean advisory sheet throughout every examination on file. The only anomaly is a failed test logged on 7 April 2026 at 58,789 miles with no defects recorded, a pattern consistent with an administrative or documentation rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately rectified by the pass one day later. Annual mileage sits at a modest 7,349 miles per year against an eight-year-old car, a figure in line with typical use for this model. The records show steady accumulation: 46,296 miles in April 2023, 51,185 in April 2024, 54,205 in May 2025, and 58,793 by April 2026. No large gaps or sudden jumps appear. The sparse, clean ledger gives no evidence of neglect or deferred consumable replacement across the period. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the absence of any recorded measurement of wear. The MOT history flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches, or structural integrity concerns, so no recurring mechanical trend demands correction. The clean sheet implies prior owners kept basic upkeep current, though the 7 April 2026 failure with zero defects warrants a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm it was clerical. Given the low mileage and unbroken pass record barring the one-day anomaly, the Astra shows no warning signs of imminent drivetrain or chassis failure. Verify tyre tread depth and wiper condition in person, as these consumables fall outside MOT defect capture when within limits. The vehicle stands as a sound used purchase on the evidence of its test lineage.
