2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · GX67 ASU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and shows a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 16 July 2025 at 129,693 miles with no defects recorded. This clean pass follows a failure on 19 June 2025 at 129,667 miles, though the record provides no specific details on the faults that caused that initial failure. The mileage is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging over 16,000 miles per year. The distance covered between the failed test in June 2025 and the successful test in July 2025 was only 26 miles, indicating the owner rectified the necessary repairs immediately to secure the certificate. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high wear components typical for a car with nearly 130,000 miles. While the latest MOT is clean, the high mileage suggests an increased risk of wear to suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts. Check for any signs of oil leaks or exhaust emissions issues that may not have been flagged but are common at this stage of a vehicle's life. Prioritise a check of the brake discs and pads for thinning, as well as the condition of the tyre treads. The lack of recorded advisories in the July 2025 test is positive, but the high annual usage means consumables will likely require replacement sooner than on a lower mileage example. Inspect the underbody for surface corrosion to ensure the structural integrity remains sound.
