2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DS66 GFJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 93,977 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the mechanical components have been maintained without neglect. Mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per annum. Between the October 2022 test at 70,757 miles and the September 2025 test at 93,977 miles, the vehicle covered 23,220 miles, which aligns with typical annual usage patterns. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent issues like rubber seal degradation or corrosion in the braking and exhaust systems. The single failure recorded in September 2023 at 79,152 miles was immediately rectified to achieve a pass just one mile later, indicating a minor issue that was addressed promptly. Since the record shows no recurring advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion across the last three tests, the vehicle's chassis appears sound. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection to check for surface rust on the sills and wheel arches, as these are common areas of concern for this model that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they become structural.
