2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · WU65 AAE

The most recent MOT on 12 January 2026, performed at 100,357 miles, recorded a PASS with no defects, indicating the vehicle is presently roadworthy. The pattern of consecutive annual passes, despite earlier fails on the same dates in 2024 and 2025, shows a stable maintenance trend rather than any deterioration. Mileage of 100,357 miles for a 2016 model equates to roughly 10,000 miles per year, which aligns with average usage for a vehicle of this age. The recorded mileage increments—84,861 miles in January 2024, 92,787 miles in January 2025, and 100,357 miles in January 2026—demonstrate consistent, moderate accumulation without abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps, suggesting regular driving rather than periods of neglect. Although the MOT records reveal no recurring faults, a prospective buyer should still examine consumable wear and structural condition. Verify tyre tread depth and uniformity, inspect suspension bushings and coil springs for signs of fatigue, and check brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing. A visual inspection of the under‑body for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and chassis joints, will confirm that no hidden rust has developed despite the clean MOT history. Ensuring these items are in good order will complement the documented roadworthiness and provide confidence in the vehicle’s long‑term reliability.
