2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · CU66 XMS

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 81,091 miles passed with no defects recorded, following four consecutive annual passes. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-entry history, indicating the previous keeper addressed requirements before each test and the vehicle has not shown worsening or recurring defects. Recorded mileage tracks closely with typical use for a 2016 registration. The car covered 41,959 miles by 8 December 2022, rose to 58,174 miles at the 12 December 2023 failure, then 58,183 miles two days later at the pass, 69,900 miles on 29 November 2024, and 81,091 miles on 18 December 2025. Annual accumulation sits near 11,000 to 12,000 miles in the later years, slightly above the 8,109-mile average but consistent and unremarkable for a ten-year-old hatchback. A two-day gap between the December 2023 fail and pass with identical mileages suggests a minor administrative or retest issue rather than a mechanical defect, as the record lists no defects on either entry. The clean MOT history gives no cause to suspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, suspension articulation, and brake condition, since the DVSA test only captures faults at the test date and consumable wear such as tyres or wiper blades may develop between tests. Given the absence of advisories across five years, prior ownership appears disciplined about statutory upkeep. The 81,091-mile odometer at the latest test confirms light-to-moderate use, and no pattern of skipped maintenance or repeated failures emerges from the record.
