2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DP66 WCJ

The December 2025 MOT at 60,515 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the Vauxhall Astra remains roadworthy at the time of testing. The recent result aligns with a stable maintenance trend, as earlier tests showed only minor wear without any major mechanical failures. Mileage has risen steadily from 22,169 miles in December 2019 to 60,515 miles in December 2025, averaging roughly 6,000 miles per year, which matches the typical usage for a ten‑year‑old vehicle. The most recent annual increase of about 11,000 miles between December 2024 and December 2025 is higher than earlier increments but does not indicate neglect, as each year is represented in the record. Recurring issues include off‑side front tyre wear noted in the 2022 and 2023 tests, a rear brake pad wearing thin in the 2024 test, and the presence of a near‑side rear child seat that limited inspection of the adult seat belt in 2024. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, verify tyre tread depth and wear patterns, inspect the structural integrity for rust, and confirm that the exhaust meets emission standards. Overall, the vehicle shows a consistent maintenance history with only minor consumable wear, and the recent pass suggests no major mechanical deterioration; however, a thorough in‑person inspection of the highlighted components is advisable before purchase.
