2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · KP68 XWC

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by the most recent MOT in November 2025 at 45,160 miles which returned no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, following a period of recurring tyre-related issues in 2024. The transition from multiple defect advisories to a clean pass suggests the current owner has addressed the outstanding wear items identified in previous testing cycles. At eight years old, the recorded 45,160 miles represent a low-average usage pattern, averaging approximately 5,645 miles per year. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with intervals of roughly 5,000 to 7,000 miles between annual tests from 2021 through 2025. This low mileage typically indicates less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and suspension, as the history shows a pattern of uneven wear. The 2024 test flagged all four tyres for being near legal limits or showing signs of perishing and damage, while the 2023 test noted a nail in the nearside rear. Recurring edge wear on the front tyres suggests potential lingering alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require professional verification. Given the low mileage and age, checking for surface corrosion on the chassis and brake lines is also advisable to ensure the low use has not resulted in neglected environmental protection.
