2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · SA18 AEK

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent string of passes in recent years. The most recent MOT conducted on 24 October 2025 at 63,173 miles resulted in a clear pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This trend of clean test results suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance and regular servicing by the previous keeper, as the vehicle has remained free of mechanical or structural failures for three consecutive annual inspections. The recorded mileage of 63,173 miles over an eight-year lifespan indicates an average annual usage of approximately 7,800 miles, which aligns with typical UK driving patterns for this class of vehicle. The data shows a steady accumulation of roughly 5,000 to 5,500 miles between each annual test from 2022 through 2025. This consistent usage pattern is preferable to long periods of inactivity, as it suggests the engine and drivetrain components have been kept in regular operation, reducing the risk of issues associated with long-term storage such as seized calipers or degraded seals. The single failure recorded on 20 October 2023 at 52,137 miles appears to be a clerical or administrative anomaly, as the vehicle passed the test on the same day without any recorded defects. Given the subsequent clean passes, there are no recurring mechanical trends or underlying structural concerns to highlight. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on standard consumable items that do not always appear on MOT records, specifically checking the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensuring the tyres retain sufficient tread depth and even wear patterns across the axle. The absence of historical advisories for suspension bushes or exhaust leaks provides a strong baseline, but a thorough visual check of the underside for any signs of impact damage or fluid leaks remains a prudent final step.
