2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · WG66 AED

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the documented MOT history. The most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 47,440 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific issue was identified and immediately rectified before the retest. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without advisories, indicating consistent upkeep. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 4,744 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 32,436 miles and October 2025 at 47,440 miles, the vehicle covered 15,004 miles over three years. This low annual usage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage vehicles. However, such low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods between tests. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components affected by low-mileage use. Inspect the suspension for cracking in rubber bushes and control arms, and check the brake discs for surface rust or pitting caused by infrequent use. Given the clean history, there are no red flags regarding structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, but the buyer should verify that the item addressed during the October 2025 failure was a minor consumable, such as a bulb or a minor adjustment, rather than a deeper mechanical fault.
