2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DC16 NHU

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 November 2025 at 42,232 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since 2022. Recorded mileage sits at 42,232 against a 2016 build, averaging roughly 4,223 miles per year. The November 2024 test logged 38,989 miles and the November 2023 test 34,898 miles, showing steady low annual use of around 4,000 miles. A single failed test appears on 20 November 2023 at 34,896 miles, yet the very next day the car passed with no defects listed, indicating the failure carried no recorded fault and was likely an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical defect. The DVSA history shows no advisories across any entry, so the record gives no signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion, coil springs, and brake disc condition, as low-mileage cars left standing can develop unseen rust and seized calipers not captured in a clean MOT. Given the sparse and clean record, previous ownership appears to have kept basic upkeep current. The one-day fail-to-pass in November 2023 warrants a glance at the original refusal sheet, but with no defects logged it raises no concern over ongoing mechanical risk.
