2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · EX66 CFU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. The most recent test in September 2025 at 82,470 miles resulted in a pass but highlighted multiple advisories regarding tyre condition. The nearside front tyre showed a cut and the nearside rear was worn to the legal limit with signs of per, suggesting the previous owner deferred tyre replacements until they reached a failure or advisory threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. There is a significant gap of over 20,000 miles between September 2023 and September 2025, which represents a period of higher usage compared to the previous years. Despite the clean 2024 record at 76,008 miles, the vehicle failed its initial test in 2023 on multiple fronts, showing that basic maintenance items were only addressed immediately following an inspection failure. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and suspension components during a physical evaluation. The 2023 failure for front brake pads being less than 1.5mm thick indicates that the components were operating at the absolute safety limit before replacement. Furthermore, the inner edge wear noted on the offside front tyre in 2023 suggests a potential alignment issue or a worn suspension bushing that should be checked to prevent premature future wear. Check the remaining tyres for the signs of perishing and cracking identified in the most recent advisory.
