2016 Vauxhall Astra SRI 1.6L Other · LM65 NLO

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 16 November 2025 at 84,985 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This reflects five consecutive years of passing without any advisories, suggesting that the previous owners proactively maintained the vehicle and addressed mechanical issues before they escalated into failure points. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the December 2020 test at 37,715 miles and the June 2022 test at 59,828 miles, where the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles in eighteen months. Since then, the usage has returned to a steadier rate of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually. This regular usage generally prevents the issues of dry seals or premature degradation of the drivetrain and suspension components. Because the MOT record shows no recurring issues with corrosion, brake binding, or suspension wear, a buyer should focus on standard wear items typical for this age and mileage. Inspect the physical condition of the rubber bushes and bushings for cracking, as these are not always flagged until they show significant play. Given the lack of structural advisories, check the sills and wheel arches for any emerging surface rust to ensure the structural integrity remains as sound as the official record suggests.
