2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · CU16 VMA

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 February 2026 at 103,824 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. This consistent pass history indicates the vehicle has not accumulated advisories or failures that would signal worsening mechanical condition. Annual mileage has averaged close to 10,400 miles across the recorded period, which sits within typical bounds for a 2016 hatchback. The tester logged 54,128 miles in February 2022, 64,994 in February 2023, 77,005 in February 2024, 90,404 in February 2025, and 103,824 in February 2026. The year-on-year increments of roughly 10,000 to 13,000 miles show steady private or light commercial use with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data carries no advisories, so the record itself offers no early warning on wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Ten years of service and 103,824 miles will have loaded suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs beyond what a pass test measures. The absence of corrosion or structural flags in the record does not exempt the sills, subframe, and brake lines from hands-on scrutiny for incipient rust. Verify in person that tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels match the implied care standard. The previous owner clearly kept the car to test standard, yet consumable condition and hidden drivetrain wear remain outside MOT scope and warrant a ramp inspection before purchase.
