2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · FP66 NHH

The vehicle's MOT record demonstrates a clear improvement trend, with the most recent test recorded on 2025-12-02 at 59,631 miles passing, followed by a 2024-12-02 test at 51,936 miles, and a 2023-12-01 test at 44,569 miles. This progression indicates that the car has maintained a relatively stable condition over the past three years, suggesting that basic upkeep was skipped or that the owner has maintained a consistent driving pattern. The mileage accumulation is low for a vehicle of its age, with approximately 5,963 miles per year recorded. This suggests that the car has been used less frequently or has been stored for extended periods, which would typically reduce wear on consumables and suspension components. However, the mileage does not appear to be accelerating rapidly, which is important for distinguishing between minor consumable wear and serious structural risks. The most significant issue identified in the history is a recurring structural defect in the rear passenger seat area. The 2022-12-02 test revealed a tear in the nearside rear tyre caused by the separation or partial failure of its structure, along with similar irregular wear on the offside rear tyre. This indicates that a structural failure in the rear suspension or seat mounting points has been present for several years, which could compromise the vehicle's safety and longevity. The buyer must inspect the car in person to verify the condition of these components and assess whether the structural integrity has been maintained or if further work is required.
