2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DP66 ACJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 12 September 2025 at 62,935 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects or advisories. This clean record across the last five years indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a good standard and has not suffered from mechanical or structural failures that typically trigger MOT advisories. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 41,203 miles and the 2025 test at 62,935 miles, the car covered 21,732 miles, maintaining a steady usage rate of roughly 5,400 miles annually. This low-intensity usage suggests that the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system have likely not been subjected to the accelerated wear associated with high-mileage commuting. While the digital history shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age rather than mileage. A prospective buyer should specifically check the rubber bushes in the suspension for cracking or perishing, as these can degrade over a decade even with low use. It is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from oxidation if the car sits for extended periods.
