2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · BD66 WEC

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 60,092 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage has stayed close to typical for a 2016 vehicle. The record shows 39,301 miles in October 2021, rising to 40,766 by October 2022, then 46,822 in October 2023, 52,699 in October 2024, and 60,092 in October 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 to 8,000 miles per year with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The DVSA data contains no advisories or failures at any stage, so the file gives no evidence of skipped basic upkeep or deferred consumable replacement. A clean MOT chain with zero advisories does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. At ten years old and 60,000 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear should still be checked for age-related fatigue not yet severe enough to fail a test. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes can develop between tests without prior flagging. Given the sparse but spotless record, the previous keeper appears to have maintained the car to pass standard each year. The buyer should nonetheless commission a independent mechanical inspection before purchase to confirm underside condition and live emissions, since the MOT alone cannot reveal emerging faults.
