VAUXHALL ASTRA2016 · 1.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 22 July 2025 at 48,254 miles recorded no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a remarkably stable maintenance regime, suggesting that the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle and prevented mechanical or safety failures from reaching the testing threshold. The mileage profile of this Astra is notably low for a ten-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per annum. Between the 2021 test at 29,927 miles and the July 2025 test at 48,254 miles, the vehicle covered only 18,327 miles. This low usage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to average vehicles. However, low-mileage cars can occasionally suffer from the degradation of rubber components and seals if they have sat stationary for extended periods between regular use. While the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by time rather than distance. A buyer should check the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spots, which are common in low-mileage vehicles, and examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting from infrequent use. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the integrity of the suspension bushes and the condition of the exhaust system is essential to ensure that age-related corrosion has not begun to develop despite the clean test history.
