2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · CX16 FZP

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 13,402 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the prior four years. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally low use for a ten-year-old vehicle. Recorded distances moved from 13,044 miles in the 14 February 2022 test to 13,250 miles in February 2023, 13,367 miles in March 2024, 13,390 miles in February 2025, and 13,402 miles in February 2026. That totals just 358 miles over four years, or roughly 90 miles annually. The DVSA history contains no gaps and no failures, though such minimal movement suggests long stationary periods rather than regular light commuting. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as components on a car left standing for extended intervals can seize or degrade without showing on a pass certificate. Check underneath for corrosion on structural members and inspect brake discs for surface rust pitting from disuse. The clean advisory record means no recurring mechanical faults or worn consumables were flagged by testers. Previous keepers clearly avoided neglect severe enough to trigger defects, but the low mileage itself warrants scrutiny of fluid condition and tyre sidewall ageing before purchase.
