2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · HK16 ACY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-19 at 82,641 miles confirmed it met roadworthiness standards with no defects recorded. Previous tests from 2025-04-14 (81,055 miles) show conflicting outcomes—both passed and failed entries exist for the same date and mileage, though no defects were logged in either. This inconsistency may indicate administrative error or a technical failure unrelated to mechanical faults. The 2024-01-30 test at 73,857 miles and 2023-01-27 test at 65,106 miles also showed no defects, suggesting a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. The vehicle’s mileage of 82,641 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 8,264 miles, typical for its 10-year age. Tests are spaced consistently, with intervals of 10–12 months, indicating regular compliance with legal requirements. No significant gaps in testing are evident, and the absence of recurring defects in the record suggests no systemic mechanical issues. However, the duplicate 2025-04-14 entries warrant verification to confirm whether the failed test was aFalse positive or unrelated to the vehicle’s condition. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly given the vehicle’s age. While no structural rust or emission issues were flagged, a thorough underbody inspection is advised to identify hidden corrosion. The absence of advisories in the MOT history implies no urgent concerns, but routine maintenance records beyond the MOT should be reviewed to confirm consistent servicing.
