2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FH16 GLY

The 2016 Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 76,797 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage has averaged close to 7,680 miles across the recorded history, which sits within typical bounds for a ten-year-old vehicle. The tester logged 42,973 miles in July 2021, 50,495 in July 2022, 57,949 in July 2023, 66,669 in July 2024, and 76,797 in July 2025. The roughly 9,000-mile yearly increments show consistent use with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data carries no advisories across any entry, so the record itself offers no early warning on wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of any documented monitoring. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the test regime does not measure gradual corrosion or intermittent binding calipers between annual checks. Prior to purchase, verify underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions at cold start, and confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition match the unflagged record. The lack of historical defects reduces risk but does not substitute for a hands-on assessment of consumable and structural condition.
