2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FD16 RYV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on June 7, 2025 at 105,609 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying any issues immediately to ensure the vehicle met legal standards. Since 2022, the Astra has maintained a clean record without recurring mechanical advisories, indicating a consistent level of maintenance over the last three years. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. The progression from 79,029 miles in June 2022 to 105,609 miles in June 2025 shows steady usage patterns of roughly 9,500 miles per year during that period. This rate aligns with typical UK domestic expectations and avoids the accelerated wear associated with high-mileage motorways use. The lack of large gaps in the testing schedule indicates the vehicle has not been neglected for long periods, which helps prevent seal degradation and component corrosion. While the digital record is clean of historical advisories, the 105,000-mile threshold necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of tearing, as these often show fatigue at this age and distance. Given the age of the car, checking the brake discs for thinning and inspecting the calipers for binding is also prudent. Although the MOT did not flag structural issues, inspecting the sills and chassis mounting points is vital to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed that was not yet caught in the recent passes.
