2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FG68 YEE

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, with a clean pass recorded on 28 January 2026 at 98,207 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every pass carrying no advisories and no recurring mechanical faults flagged by testers. Mileage sits high for an eight-year-old car at 98,207 miles, averaging roughly 12,276 miles per year. The record shows 58,416 miles on 14 November 2022, rising to 74,153 by 29 November 2023, then a jump to 88,070 at the failed test on 3 February 2025 and 88,122 three days later on the pass. The final year added just over 10,000 miles to reach the current reading. A sparse but consistent record with no gaps beyond normal annual cycles implies steady use rather than neglect or long standing periods. The February 2025 failure at 88,070 miles carries no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded minor issue rather than a mechanical fault, with the immediate pass on 6 February confirming the car cleared. No advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear in any entry, so the history gives no signal of worsening wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and consumable items not captured by a clean MOT, given the high annual mileage. Priority checks should cover brake caliper operation, suspension arm condition, underbody corrosion, and tyre tread depth, as these wear components escape detection on a defect-free test and reflect the car's above-average use.
