2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · LT66 ABZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-09-10 at 91,719 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. However, a prior test on 2025-09-08 at the same mileage failed without recorded issues, suggesting a possible administrative error or inconsistency. The preceding MOTs from 2024-09-10 (79,553 miles) and 2023-08-18 (66,761 miles) also passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record up to 2024. The absence of recent testing beyond 2025 raises concerns, as the vehicle has not been assessed for roadworthiness in over a year, despite its 2026-07-14 current date. The mileage progression shows a gradual increase from 58,597 miles in 2022 to 79,553 miles in 2024, then a sharp jump to 91,719 miles by 2025. This suggests a significant rise in annual usage, potentially accelerating wear on components like brakes, suspension, and tyres. However, the identical mileage recorded in both 2025 tests implies the vehicle may have been stationary for an extended period post-2025, risking fluid degradation, battery depletion, and corrosion. The lack of intervening MOTs between 2024 and 2025 further complicates assessing ongoing maintenance trends. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of prolonged inactivity, including battery condition, fluid levels, and corrosion in critical areas like the exhaust system or chassis. While no defects were recorded in past tests, the absence of recent MOT data means unresolved issues from prior years remain unverified. Pay particular attention to suspension components, as increased mileage could have exacerbated wear on bushes or coil springs, and check brake discs for uneven wear, which might indicate binding calipers or uneven pad wear. The vehicle’s history suggests cautious evaluation of its current mechanical state.
