2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · CV65 UHR

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 2 April 2026 at 78,380 miles, showing a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This record indicates a stable and high standard of roadworthiness, as the car has cleared its last three annual inspections without any flagged mechanical concerns. The absence of recurring issues suggests that the previous owner has maintained the vehicle proactively, ensuring that consumables and structural components remained within compliant tolerances throughout the testing periods. The recorded mileage of 78,380 miles over a ten-year lifespan averages approximately 7,838 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a Vauxhall Astra of this vintage. The consistency in annual mileage accumulation, moving from 63,494 miles in April 2024 to the current figure, indicates regular, moderate use rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive motorway strain. This steady usage profile is generally favourable for the longevity of engine seals and battery health, as the vehicle has not suffered from the accelerated wear associated with high-mileage commercial use or the potential for seized components caused by prolonged storage. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these items are often replaced between tests. Although the DVSA record shows no failures or advisories, the age of the vehicle warrants a check for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframe or fuel lines, which may not always trigger an MOT failure but can impact long-term reliability. Prioritise an inspection of the tyre sidewalls for cracking and check the brake fluid condition, as these remain the primary areas where maintenance may be deferred despite a clean pass certificate.
