2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.0L Petrol · CX16 AVT

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test. The tester passed the car on 2 March 2026 at 70,750 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the full history, with every annual examination from February 2023 through March 2026 returning a clean pass. A failed test on 2 March 2026 at 70,747 miles shows no defects logged, indicating a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately rectified by the same-day pass. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,075 miles per year against the car's ten-year age, a typical use profile for a 2016 hatchback. The records show steady accumulation: 50,795 miles in February 2023, 56,250 in February 2024, 62,569 in March 2025, and 70,750 by March 2026. The owner added around 6,200 to 8,200 miles each year with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The sparse, clean ledger implies consistent servicing discipline and no deferred consumable replacements flagged by the tester. No advisories appear on any certificate, so the buyer cannot infer worn suspension bushes, corroded subframes, or failing brake discs from the MOT data alone. The absence of recorded faults over four consecutive tests suggests the previous keeper addressed wear before each examination. That said, a clean MOT is not a structural guarantee. A physical inspection should still confirm underbody corrosion, coil spring condition, and brake disc thickness, as these items escape detection on a pass-with-no-defects record. Verify the 3-mile discrepancy between the failed and passed entries on 2 March 2026 reflects a documentation error, not unrecorded rectification work.
