2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · PF16 AEU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent inspection history. The most recent test conducted on 5 November 2025 at 55,362 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific issue was identified and rectified immediately prior to clearance. Since November 2022, the Astra has maintained a clean record without recurring advisories or mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 28,624 miles and November 2025 at 55,362 miles, the car covered roughly 27,000 miles. The interval of 9,790 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates steady usage. This low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine but can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or brakerelated corrosion due to lack of regular use. While the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical faults, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components prone to low-mileage neglect. Check the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the calipers are not seized from the vehicle sitting for extended periods. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perish, as materials age over time regardless of distance driven. Given the unexplained failure and pass in November 2025, verify the specific nature of the repair made to ensure it was not a symptom of a developing structural or mechanical issue.
