2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · BX16 LZF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on November 7, 2025, 53,969 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the recent failure just three days prior indicates a lapse in minor oversight. The tester flagged an inoperative tyre pressure monitoring system and misaligned windscreen washer jets, both of which were rectified to achieve the retest pass, suggesting the owner is willing to address immediate defects to maintain legal compliance. At approximately ten years old, the Astra shows a remarkably low mileage profile, averaging roughly 5,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a jump of 10,606 miles recorded between July 2022 and July 2023, and another 12,902 miles between July 2023 and August 2024. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but can sometimes lead to aging of rubber-based components or seizing of brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between trips. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the August 2024 test at 47,920 miles flagged thin brake pads and worn discs on both front sides. While these are standard consumables, the remaining life of these components should be verified to ensure they were replaced as indicated. Given the low mileage, it is also prudent to check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and suspension bushes, as low-use vehicles often suffer more from environmental oxidation than from mechanical wear.
