2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · FG68 HTT

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 57,091 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results from 2021 through 2025. Annual mileage has held close to typical expectations for an eight-year-old car. The tester logged 33,995 miles in October 2021, rising to 38,701 by October 2022, 45,106 in October 2023, 51,531 in October 2024, and 57,091 in October 2025. That equates to roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles per year, with no sudden accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA record is sparse in advisories, showing no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns across the history. A clean sheet across five tests implies the previous owners kept basic upkeep current and avoided deferred consumable replacement. No recurring faults appear, so there is no worsening mechanical pattern to weigh. The absence of advisories does not confirm component condition, only that nothing breached test thresholds on the day. A buyer should still inspect tyres, wiper blades, and underbody structural integrity in person, since these wear between tests. Given the low annual use, check for perished rubber and surface rust on sills or subframes that a pass certificate will not capture. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible despite the spotless MOT lineage.
