2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · LT66 ADV

This Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent test on 27 November 2025 at 100,286 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a trend of clean certificates dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year. A notable increase occurred between 13 September 2024 and 22 August 2023, where the odometer rose by 9,378 miles. The subsequent period between September 2024 and November 2025 saw a smaller increase of 1,212 miles. This shift indicates a significant reduction in annual usage over the last eighteen months. The absence of advisories across multiple years is uncommon for a ten year old vehicle with six figure mileage. While the records show no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the lack of flagged consumable wear suggests the previous owner may have performed preventative maintenance outside of the MOT cycle. A buyer should still physically inspect the brake pads and tyre tread depths, as these are wear items that can degrade rapidly between tests. Given the age and mileage, a manual check of the chassis for surface rust and a verification of the service history for oil and filter changes is recommended. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 12 and 13 September 2024, though the specific defect is not listed. This usually points to a minor rectification, such as a bulb replacement, but it confirms the vehicle was not in a perfect state of repair immediately prior to that test.
