4 How it compares with other 2018 Astras

Against every Vauxhall Astra first used in 2018 and tested in Great Britain in the 2025 test year (29,843 first-attempt tests) — the most recent full year available.

MeasureThis carTypical 2018 AstraWhat it means
Pass rate, first attempts6 of 6 (100%)79.9% in 2025Higher than the group figure
Fails, first attempts0 of 615.1% of first testsNone on this record
Fixed during the test (PRS)05.0% of first testsNone on this record

Clean passes (no advisories)4 of 646.3% of first testsHigher than the group figure

"Typical" is every Vauxhall Astra first used in 2018, any fuel or use — not adjusted for mileage. This car's figures are from its own record only. A first attempt is any test not within 10 days after a failed test of this car. A first attempt whose faults were all put right during the test counts as fixed during the test (PRS), not as a fail, as in DVSA's figures.

Check before you buy — for this car

  1. On this carBrakes. advisory recorded in the last two years (2025). Worth looking at the discs and pads through the wheel spokes for scoring and a worn lip, and noticing on a test drive whether the car pulls to one side or the pedal feels long.
  2. On this carStructure & corrosion. minor item recorded in the last two years (2025). Worth looking underneath with a torch at the sills, floor and mountings for corrosion.
  3. On this carEngine – oil. advisory recorded in the last two years (2025). Worth looking under the car and around the engine for fresh oil, and asking when it was last serviced.
  4. Nothing recentTyres. A top failure area for 2018 Astras. Recorded on this car in 2024, nothing in the last two years. Worth checking the tread depth across the whole width of each tyre, and the sidewalls for cuts, cracks and bulges.
  5. Nothing recentLamps & visibility. A top failure area for 2018 Astras. Nothing on this car’s record. Worth asking someone to watch while you work every lamp and indicator, and checking the wipers clear the screen cleanly.

About this page

This is the public record for one vehicle, drawn from two free government sources: DVLA for the registration — make, year, colour, fuel, emissions, tax and MOT status — and DVSA for every MOT result and mileage reading since 2005. Nothing here costs anything, and nothing here identifies the keeper.

What it cannot tell you is the commercial history: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and stolen markers. Those come from Experian and are not public. They are the difference between a car you can drive and a car you can lose — see SortedCars Reports, or read the longer guide on the free car check.

The DVLA and DVSA data on this page contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. SortedCars is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the DVLA or DVSA.
