2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FJ18 HFO

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 July 2025 at 136,333 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean four-year run with no advisories or failures logged by DVSA. Mileage stands at 136,333 against an eight-year age, averaging roughly 17,000 miles per year, which is high for a 2018 hatchback and points to sustained motorway or commuter use. The records show steady annual accumulation: 82,498 miles in May 2022, 105,728 by May 2023, 124,146 in June 2024, and 136,333 by July 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear, and the sparse clean history gives no evidence of neglected periods or standing time. Given the absence of flagged faults across all tests, no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion issues emerge from the data. The clean sheet implies previous owners kept basic consumables within limits, though a passed test with no advisories does not confirm component condition beneath threshold. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, underside corrosion, and suspension wear given the high mileage. Examine brake calipers for binding, check exhaust emissions under load, and verify tyre sidewall age. The MOT record alone shows no warnings, but 136,000 miles warrants hands-on checks before purchase.
