2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · KY66 BHA

The overall roadworthiness of the 2016 VAUXHALL ASTRA is currently good, as the vehicle has maintained a consistent MOT record since the September 2023 test at 54,410 miles. The tester flagged binding rear brakes on the 2023-04-13 test, which is a recurring fault that suggests the vehicle has not undergone adequate mechanical checks since then. This indicates an ongoing trend of maintenance gaps, as the brakes were not inspected after the first failure on the 2023-04-13 test. The mileage pattern shows that the vehicle has experienced rapid accumulation of miles between its most recent test on the 2024-11-13 date at 64,206 miles and the 2023-04-13 test on 54,406 miles. This gap of 9,800 miles suggests that the owner may have skipped routine checks, particularly around the braking system, which is a known area of wear in older vehicles. The data indicates that the vehicle has not been properly serviced for approximately two years after the initial test, leading to the binding condition observed. Given the binding brakes and the lack of mechanical inspection following the 2023-04-13 test, the vehicle is not roadworthy. The tester flagged binding rear brakes, which requires immediate professional intervention to prevent further damage. The vehicle should be inspected in person by a qualified mechanic to verify the condition of suspension bushes, brake discs, and structural integrity before delivery.
