2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · CY16 SYC

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 July 2025 at 82,507 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior tests on 1 November 2023 at 80,801 miles and 17 February 2022 at 76,720 miles also passed clean. The absence of any advisories across all three examinations indicates the vehicle has not shown worsening mechanical or structural condition over the recorded period. The odometer shows 82,507 miles against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 8,250 miles per year and sitting within typical use for a 2016 hatchback. Mileage advanced 3,081 miles between February 2022 and November 2023, then 1,706 miles to July 2025, revealing a clear slowdown in annual use. A 20-month gap separates the 2022 and 2023 tests, which leaves a longer-than-ideal stretch without official inspection but no failed tests or flagged faults bridge that interval. The clean MOT history gives no recorded warnings on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's age, as the MOT only samples condition on test day. Verify the service record matches the low annual mileage and confirm tyres, wiper blades, and fluid intervals reflect the light-use pattern rather than deferred care.
