2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · BX16 PLN

This Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate over the last four years. The most recent test on 8 May 2025 at 78,422 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar clean result in May 2024, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets all DVSA safety and environmental requirements. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a ten year old vehicle. It covered 4,314 miles between April 2022 and April 2023, and 4,810 miles between April 2023 and April 2024. The most recent interval shows a slight decrease in usage, with 2,104 miles added between May 2024 and May 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or prolonged periods of standing. A strange anomaly appears in April 2024, where the vehicle failed on 22 April at 76,196 miles but the record lists no specific defects. It passed shortly after on 7 May at 76,318 miles. While the lack of recorded faults for that failure is unusual, the rapid turnaround indicates the owner addressed the issue immediately. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean, there are no recurring mechanical trends such as suspension bush wear or brake disc corrosion to flag. A buyer should still perform a physical check of the tyre treads and brake pad thickness, as these consumables often wear down between test intervals without triggering an advisory. Checking for underside corrosion is advised given the vehicle's age, though the clean test records suggest the structural integrity remains sound.
