2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.0L Petrol · AJ02 AMU

This Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 87,003 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed a test on 30 October 2025 just two miles prior to the successful retest, the lack of recorded defects suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 8,700 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of distance, moving from 59,454 miles in January 2023 to 87,003 miles by November 2025. This linear progression indicates regular use rather than periods of prolonged standing, which typically helps prevent seals from perishing or brakes from seizing. The MOT history is unusually clean for a ten year old vehicle, showing no recorded advisories or failures for suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across five tests. Such a void of data suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. However, the absence of any flagged consumable wear, such as tyre tread or wiper blades, over several years is atypical. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common Astra weak points that may not have been highlighted in these specific tests. Check for signs of oil leaks around the engine bay and inspect the rear suspension components for play. Given the lack of recorded corrosion in the history, a thorough check of the chassis and sills remains necessary to confirm the structural integrity of the vehicle.
