2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · CA65 PVZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing inspections without defects. The most recent test conducted on 8 May 2025 at 92,107 miles resulted in no recorded faults, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoided immediate mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent over the ten-year ownership period, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per annum. Between May 2022 at 51,094 miles and May 2024 at 79,185 miles, the car covered over 28,000 miles in two years, representing a peak usage period. The subsequent of 13,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows a return to regular usage patterns, confirming the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing that often lead to seized brake calipers or perished rubber. A single recorded failure occurred on 11 May 2023 at 65,477 miles, though the vehicle passed on the same day after remedial work. Because no specific defects were listed for that initial failure, it likely involved a minor consumable item such as a blown bulb or a wiper blade that was rectified immediately. The lack of recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, exhaust corrosion, or brake thinning across the last three tests suggests the structural integrity of the Astra remains sound. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension components and rear subframe, as these are common wear points for this model at this mileage bracket. Given the 92,000-mile mark, checking for fluid leaks around shock absorbers and inspecting the underside for any emerging surface rust is prudent. The overall data set suggests a well-maintained example that has not been subjected to neglect, provided the physical condition aligns with the clean recorded history.
