VAUXHALL ASTRA2016 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test on 15 October 2025 at 94,928 miles resulted in a pass despite two advis involving an inoperative registration plate lamp and a pitted offside rear brake disc. These issues represent minor consumable wear and electrical trifles rather than systemic mechanical failure or structural neglect, suggesting that the vehicle has generally been well-maintained by its previous owners. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's ten-year age, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage with regular intervals between the 73,372 miles in December 2021 and 94,928 miles in late 2025. This consistent pattern suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often leads to seized components or rubber degradation, nor has it been subjected to excessive high-mile use that would prematurely age the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside rear brake system to ensure the pitting noted in the 2025 test has been addressed with a new disc and pad replacement. Given the vehicle has now surpassed 90,000 miles, a physical check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is advisable as these components often reach the end of life at this stage. The lack of recorded structural defects between 2021 and 2024 indicates the chassis integrity of the Astra has remained sound to date.
