2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FN66 LUP

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 31 December 2025 at 114,440 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The owner cleared the test on the second attempt that day after an initial failure with no defects logged, a pattern repeated exactly one year earlier on 9 January 2025 at 107,416 miles. Recorded mileage sits at 114,440 against a 2016 build, averaging roughly 11,444 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The DVSA data shows 101,788 miles on 3 January 2024, rising to 107,417 by 9 January 2025 and 114,440 by 31 December 2025. Annual accumulation stayed near 6,600 to 7,000 miles, with no standing periods or sudden jumps. The clean pass sheet at every stage means the record gives little insight into wear on consumables or structure beyond confirmation that the car met standards on the day. The repeated same-day fail-then-pass entries with no defects cited suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than underlying vehicle faults. Still, a buyer should physically verify suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for age-related wear not captured by a defect-free sheet. At ten years old and 114k miles, corrosion on sills and subframes warrants a close visual check even though the tester raised no structural advisory. Given the sparse but clean history, in-person inspection should focus on tyre tread depth, wiper condition and exhaust emissions under load. The absence of advisories across three years implies basic upkeep was maintained, yet no record exists of recurring problems to track, so a pre-purchase mechanical check remains the only way to confirm current condition.
