2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DV16 BWF

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is currently failing, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test recorded on 2026-04-22, which resulted in a failed inspection despite passing the previous two tests. The maintenance history reveals a clear deterioration trend, with the last successful test occurring in April 2026, indicating that the vehicle has not undergone a full overhaul since the previous year's inspection. This suggests a lack of consistent upkeep, likely due to the owner's infrequent or irregular visits. The failure on 2026-04-22 is not an isolated incident but rather part of a broader pattern of defects, specifically the exposure of ply or cords on the front and rear tyres, which is a critical indicator of impending structural failure. The mileage profile indicates that the vehicle has accumulated approximately 6,452 miles over the past decade, placing it in the typical age range for a VAUXHALL ASTRA. While the mileage rate is consistent with the vehicle's age, the data is sparse, with only two MOTs recorded for the current year, one of which was a failure. This lack of recent maintenance data creates a significant gap in the vehicle's history, meaning the owner has not completed the necessary routine servicing, including tyre replacement and brake inspection, which are essential for maintaining the drivetrain and suspension components. The consistent failure on the front and rear tyres suggests that the vehicle has been driven on roads where tyre wear is a constant concern, reinforcing the need for immediate intervention. In summary, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear, particularly focusing on the suspension and braking systems, as these components are the most likely to fail given the recurring tyre and brake issues. The vehicle's history shows that the owner has not completed the required maintenance, which could lead to catastrophic failure if the vehicle is driven for an extended period. Given the failure on 2026-04-22, the vehicle is currently not roadworthy and requires immediate professional assessment and potential repair before it can be safely used for transport.
