2016 VAUXHALL ASTRA1.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection. The March 2026 test at 45,418 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure earlier that same day. This pattern of immediate rectification suggests that any issues identified during testing are being addressed promptly, preventing minor faults from escalating into long-term mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 vehicle. Having covered only 45,418 miles over approximately ten years, the car averages roughly 4,542 miles per year. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle has seen light use, though the relatively long intervals between tests—such as the gap between April 2025 and March 2026—can sometimes indicate periods where the car has been stationary. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain, it can occasionally lead to issues with seals or rubber components due to lack of use. A physical inspection should focus on verifying the recent repairs that led to the failures in April 2025 and March 2026. Since the MOT records do not specify the exact nature of these failures, a buyer must confirm that the issues were not related to suspension bushes, brake pads, or tyre tread depth. Checking for signs of corrosion on the underbody and ensuring the brake discs show no signs of heavy pitting or uneven wear is advisable, given the low-mileage usage pattern.
