2016 Vauxhall Astra Elite Cdti S/S 1.6L Diesel · DGZ 2582

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-01-15 inspection at 98,962 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also showed passes with no issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-maintained, with no recurring faults requiring urgent attention. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,896 miles annually. The records show steady accumulation, with gaps between tests ranging from 11 to 16 months, which is standard for a car of this age. Notably, the 2022-01-04 test at 71,090 miles to 2022-12-14 at 79,877 miles reflects a 8,787-mile increase over 11 months, followed by a 14,822-mile rise to 94,699 miles by 2025-02-14. These figures suggest regular use without prolonged inactivity, reducing risks of component degradation from standing. While the MOT history shows no specific faults, a buyer should verify the condition of suspension components such as bushes and coil springs, which can deteriorate over time without immediate warning. Inspecting the brake system for corrosion or uneven wear, alongside the exhaust for leaks or rust, is advisable given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as hidden rust or panel damage may not appear in MOT records. The car’s clean history implies responsible ownership, but physical inspection remains critical to confirm ongoing reliability.
