VAUXHALL ASTRA2016 · 1.6L DIESEL

The current roadworthiness of this Vauxhall Astra is satisfactory following the successful pass on 21 April 2026 at 66,173 miles. While the vehicle holds a valid certificate, the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in preventative care. The failure recorded during the most recent inspection highlights a fractured nearside rear coil spring and tyre tread issues, suggesting that the previous owner may have deferred essential repairs until the point of testing rather than addressing them as they developed. The vehicle has covered 66,173 miles over a ten-year period, averaging approximately 6,600 miles annually. This usage pattern is consistent and suggests regular, light-duty operation rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. Mileage accumulation remained steady between 2023 and 2025, though the jump from 47,148 miles in April 2024 to 59,690 miles by April 2025 indicates a period of increased usage. The absence of major structural advisories throughout the history reflects a generally well-preserved chassis. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension components, specifically checking the nearside rear area to ensure the replacement coil spring was fitted correctly and that the offside counterpart shows no signs of fatigue. The recurring advisories regarding the offside front tyre and the brake system indicate a need to verify the current condition of the front discs and pads. Given the history of uneven tyre wear, check the front suspension geometry for signs of misalignment or play in the track rod ends, as these are common failure points that can lead to premature tyre degradation.
