VAUXHALL ANTARA2016 · 2.2L Diesel

The Vauxhall Antara presents a current roadworthy status following the September 2025 test at 93,937 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend across the supplied record is stable, with zero advisories or mechanical faults logged. In September 2025 the vehicle first failed on 5 September at 93,933 miles with no defects noted, then passed four days later at 93,937 miles. A similar pattern occurred in March 2024: a fail on 22 March at 86,527 miles with no defects, followed by a pass on 27 March at identical mileage. These repeated fails without recorded faults suggest procedural or documentation anomalies rather than worsening mechanical condition. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 2016 vehicle. The November 2023 test at 81,811 miles shows baseline. By March 2024 the odometer read 86,527 miles, a 4,716-mile increase over four months implying above-average usage. Subsequent recording to September 2025 shows only 7,410 miles added across eighteen months, dropping annualised rate to roughly 4,900 miles. The overall 93,937 miles equates to about 9,400 per year. The record is sparse, containing just five entries, yet free of any flagged wear on consumables or structural items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core mechanical and structural elements. The Antara's age and mileage leave suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs susceptible to fatigue even though the MOT logged no advisories. Examine the rear subframe and sills for corrosion, a known weak point on this model. The twin failures with no defects recorded warrant direct enquiry with the vendor to confirm whether they stemmed from administrative errors or unreported faults. Given the clean recent pass and stable history, the vehicle appears maintained to minimum statutory standard. Absence of MOT advisories does not equate to comprehensive condition assurance. Verify service history and scrutinise tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and fluid levels during viewing. The low recent mileage suggests periods of inactivity that can accelerate rubber perishing and caliper binding, so a road test remains essential.
