2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · ND66 VWR

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 23 March 2026 at 53,998 miles resulted in no recorded defects, maintaining a stable trend that spans the last five recorded tests. This consistency suggests a proactive maintenance regime where the previous owner has likely addressed minor wear and tear issues before they could result in a formal MOT failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per annum. Between November 2022 at 34,846 miles and March 2026 at 53,998 miles, the car covered 19,152 miles, indicating consistent but light usage. While low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between service points can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or corrosion on brake components if the vehicle is not subjected to long-distance driving. Because the MOT record is entirely clean, a physical inspection should focus on components that degrade through age rather than high mileage. A buyer should check for cracking in the suspension bushes and perished wiper blades, as these often fail on low-use vehicles. It is also advisable to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which frequently occurs when cars are not driven regularly to clear the rotors. Checking the structural integrity of the underbody for early-stage rust remains essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked environmental damage.
