2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · MW16 WNM

The Vauxhall Astra presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent DVSA test on 12 November 2025 at 123,409 miles, roughly eight months before the current evaluation date, returning a pass and no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the supplied history remains stable, showing no advisories or failures from February 2023 onward. The mileage ledger shows the car covered 70,096 miles by 13 February 2023, then only 2,561 miles to 10 October 2023, indicating a period of light use. From the November 2023 test at 72,772 miles, annual accumulation jumped to 24,179 miles by November 2024 and 26,458 miles by November 2025, producing an overall average of roughly 12,300 miles per year. Such accumulation sits above typical for a 2016 hatchback and implies increased rotational wear on drivetrain and suspension components. No tester flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, corrosion or exhaust emissions across any entry, which suggests previous owners addressed statutory requirements without lapse. A clean MOT slate does not confirm component longevity, and the high total mileage demands hands-on checks of structural integrity at subframe mounts and sill sections for rust plus measurement of brake disc wear and tyre tread depth. The two near-consecutive passes in October and November 2023 at 72,657 and 72,772 miles respectively point to a likely change of ownership or precautionary retest, yet no faults were logged either time. A buyer should still commission a pre-purchase inspection to verify clutch wear, gearbox condition and auxiliary belt tension, as these items fall outside MOT scope but degrade with distance covered.
