2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FG68 YFD

The 2018 Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 December 2025 at 78,034 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 9,754 miles, consistent with typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 35,096 miles at the 20 November 2021 test, rising to 46,056 by 28 November 2022, 54,511 by 2 December 2023, 67,115 by 30 November 2024, and 78,034 by the December 2025 test. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data, and every entry shows a pass with no advisories logged. The absence of recorded faults means the MOT history gives no signal of recurring suspension bushes, coil spring fractures, binding calipers, or structural corrosion. A clean sheet across five consecutive tests suggests the previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake disc thickness, tyre sidewall condition, and underbody structural integrity, since the MOT only captures failures at test point and does not measure wear between visits. The low-defect record justifies cautious confidence but does not remove the need for independent verification before purchase.
