2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · CU16 PPV

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, with a clean pass recorded on 4 October 2023 at 118,546 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with the only blemishes being two paired fail-and-pass outcomes on the same days in 2021 and 2022 that carried no recorded defects, suggesting administrative or procedural re-tests rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or worsening patterns appear in the data. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2016 vehicle, averaging roughly 11,855 miles per year against the 118,546 miles recorded. The gap between the 14 September 2022 test at 107,798 miles and the 4 October 2023 pass at 118,546 miles shows about 10,700 miles added in thirteen months, consistent with ordinary use. The record is sparse with four test entries and no flagged wear items, so the buyer gets limited insight into consumable replacement cycles from MOT data alone. Given the absence of recorded defects across suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, the history implies previous owners kept the car to a basic pass standard with no flagged neglect. The same-day fail-and-pass pairs in October 2021 at 100,129 miles and September 2022 at 107,798 miles with no defects logged point to clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than owner malpractice. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record does not confirm absence of hidden rust. Examine brake calipers for binding, check exhaust emissions against current limits, and verify tyre tread depth and wiper blades since these consumables leave no trace in a clean MOT history.
