2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · FY68 AEB

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 14 October 2025 at 76,262 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Across the five annual examinations from November 2021 to October 2025, every result was a pass with no advisories logged. This unbroken clean record indicates the previous keeper addressed any wear before each test and kept the vehicle to a sound standard. Annual mileage averaged roughly 9,500 miles against the car's eight-year age, a typical figure for this class. The records show steady accumulation: 31,467 miles in November 2021, 42,105 by October 2022, 50,222 in October 2023, 63,504 in October 2024, and 76,262 in October 2025. No abrupt jumps or dormant periods appear. The sparse but consistent history gives no evidence of neglected storage or harsh commercial use. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. The absence of advisories means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and structural underbody points were not flagged, yet testers only record visible faults at the time. Check for early corrosion on sills and subframes, and measure remaining tyre tread and brake pad thickness independently. Given the fault-free record, no recurring mechanical pattern demands correction. The vehicle's upkeep implies a conscientious owner. Verify service history matches the mileage and confirm timing belt interval compliance for the engine variant before purchase.
