2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.0L Petrol · K400 AEH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean MOT pass in July 2026 at 92,350 miles where no defects were recorded. This indicates an improving trend in maintenance standards compared to previous years where minor wear items were frequently identified. The lack of advisories in the two most recent tests suggests that the current owner is proactively addressing mechanical requirements before they escalate into test failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per annum. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, such as the 10,000 miles covered between June 2024 and July 2025, another 11,000 miles between July 2025 and July 2026. This regular usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to internal corrosion in the brake lines or the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system, as the record shows recurring wear issues noted in 2023 and 2024 for both the offside and nearside discs. While these were flagged as not excessively worn at the time, the repetition suggests the components may be nearing the end of their functional life. Check for uneven thinning of the discs and ensure the brake pads have sufficient remaining thickness. Given the 2019 failure for low tyre tread depth, verify the current condition of all four tyres to ensure they have been replaced recently and do not show signs of uneven wear.
