2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · SD66 AAJ

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 21 February 2026 at 74,058 miles recorded no defects whatsoever, maintaining a trend of perfect scores over the last three years. This suggests that the previous owners have maintained the mechanical and safety components to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a decade-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 49,478 miles and February 2026 at 74,058 miles, the car covered roughly 24,500 miles, indicating regular and predictable usage. The short interval between February 2024 and September 2024 showing a jump of 11,162 miles confirms the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and braking components that can suffer from long periods of inactivity. While the MOT record shows no advisories or failures regarding structural rust or mechanical components, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear for an Astra of this age. Given the relatively low mileage, the buyer should check for minor cracking in rubber bushes and suspension components, which age over time regardless of distance driven. The brake discs should also be examined for pitting or uneven wear, as the record does not specifically flag binding calipers or thin pads in recent tests.
