2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · DP16 YNO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 84,765 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a trend of mechanical compliance over the last five years. This suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets all DVSA safety requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between July 2021 and September 2025, the car covered 26,840 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation or heavy strain. A slight gap exists between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where the car covered only 1,246 miles, but the overall annual average remains within typical parameters, which limits the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components typically associated with high-mileage use. Since the MOT record shows no historical advisories for structural corrosion or failing components, a physical inspection should still focus on common wear items for an Astra of this age. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade before triggering an MOT failure. Given the mileage, examining the brake discs for pitting or thinning and checking the tyre sidewalls for cracking is prudent, as the MOT does not assess the overall age of rubber consumables.
