2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FN16 YKF

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 119,786 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 7 November 2024 at 107,068 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared successive annual examinations without outstanding advisories. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for a 2016 plate, averaging roughly 11,979 miles per year across its life. The odometer moved from 102,747 miles on 18 March 2024 to 107,068 miles by 7 November 2024, then to 119,786 miles at the October 2025 test, showing consistent annual use with no abrupt accumulation or long dormant periods. The DVSA history is sparse but clean, carrying only two failed entries on 18 March 2024 and 6 November 2024, both closed the same day with no defects formally logged, which suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car is now ten years old and past 119,000 miles. The absence of recorded advisories across the timeline means wear on consumables such as tyres and wiper blades has not been flagged, yet high-mileage Vauxhall Astras of this generation are prone to subframe corrosion and steering rack degradation that a road test would expose. Given the repeated same-day fail-and-pass pairs in March and November 2024, verify the vehicle was not presented with outstanding minor items later rectified off-record. The current owner has demonstrated basic annual compliance, but the lack of any advisory data leaves the true condition of structural integrity and exhaust emissions unverified beyond the pass result.
