2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · MW16 ABN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistently clean inspection history. The most recent test on 2 May 2025 at 40,832 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This followed a failure exactly one day prior on 1 May 2025 at 40,776 miles which also listed no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative error or a technicality that was rectified immediately before the re-test rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per annum. Between April 2022 and April 2024, the car covered only 3,614 miles, indicating very light use or long periods of inactivity. The jump of 7,094 miles between April 2024 and May 2025 shows a slight increase in usage but remains well within the overall low-mileage profile. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long stationary periods can increase the risk of brake components seizing or rubber-based bushings failing due to lack of movement. Because the record shows no recurring advisories for corrosion, suspension components, or brake wear, a physical inspection should focus on the effects of low-mileage storage. A buyer should check for surface rust on brake discs and verify that the tyres have not perished despite having sufficient tread depth. Given the age of the Astra, inspecting the structural integrity of the underside for hidden corrosion remains essential, though the MOT history has not yet flagged any structural weaknesses.
