2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FJ18 KUP

The Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at its most recent test on 9 January 2024 at 129,118 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Prior examinations on 2 February 2023 at 105,706 miles and 3 March 2022 at 80,152 miles also returned passes with no advisories. The maintenance record shows no worsening faults, recurring mechanical issues, or escalating wear across the three-year span. Annual mileage averages roughly 16,140 miles, high for an eight-year-old car and pointing to sustained motorway or commuter use rather than short local trips. The gap between the March 2022 test at 80,152 miles and the February 2023 test at 105,706 miles shows about 25,500 miles in eleven months. From February 2023 to January 2024 the car covered 23,412 miles. Such accumulation loads suspension bushes, drivetrain joints, and brake discs harder than low-mileage equivalents. No advisories appear for corrosion, exhaust emissions, or binding calipers in the supplied history. The absence of flagged items suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though a clean sheet gives no insight into unseen wear beneath the test threshold. A buyer should still inspect coil springs, subframe mounts, and brake disc thickness in person given the high annual distance. Verify the odometer against service stamps and confirm the 2025 test has since been completed, as the last recorded MOT dates to over two years before today. Standing time since January 2024 may have allowed tyre sidewall cracking or flat spots to develop unnoticed by the tester.
