2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FN66 KXG

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 July 2025 at 192,025 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 25 July 2024 at 183,749 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two annual examinations without advisory or failure entries. The earlier 6 July 2023 pass at 176,014 miles and 30 July 2022 pass at 160,162 miles show four consecutive satisfactory results, indicating no worsening mechanical condition across the observed period. The recorded mileage of 192,025 against a 2016 build year equates to roughly 19,200 miles per annum, a high annual figure for this model age that points to sustained motorway or business use rather than short local commuting. Accumulation moved from 160,162 in July 2022 to 176,014 in July 2023, then to 183,747 at the failed test on 25 July 2024, and 192,025 by July 2025, a consistent ~8,000 to 9,000 mile yearly increment with no standing gaps. The DVSA log is sparse on faults: a failed entry on 25 July 2024 at 183,747 miles carries no recorded defect, with a pass logged the same day at 183,749 miles, implying an administrative or metering anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high mileage and ten-year age, as these components accumulate fatigue absent any MOT flag. Examine subframe and sill structure for corrosion, and verify the exhaust emissions and drivetrain mounts under load, since the clean record offers no evidence of underlying wear but does not confirm component life remaining. The absence of advisories across four tests suggests previous owners addressed consumables before each examination, yet the 2024 same-day fail/pass irregularity warrants a check of the vehicle's test certificate lineage.
