2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · MJ67 UHA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of minor inconsistency. The most recent MOT test conducted on 18 December 2025 at 68,695 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that any previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in January 2025 at 64,294 miles, suggesting that the Astra is currently being maintained in a condition that meets the minimum safety standards without immediate mechanical requirements. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage between April 2023 at 48,730 miles and January 2025 at 64,294 miles, where the car covered over 15,000 miles in under twenty months. The failure recorded on 21 December 2024 at 64,266 miles occurred just 28 miles prior to the subsequent pass, suggesting a minor consumable failure or a lighting adjustment issue that was rectified immediately rather than a deep-seated mechanical or structural fault. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most likely to have caused the December 2024 failure. While the record shows no recurring advisories, the age of the vehicle suggests that suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for perishing or cracking. Given the consistent mileage, the brake discs and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear or binding to ensure that the periods of lower usage reflected in the history have not led to excessive corrosion on the braking hardware.
