2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · NX16 KCG

The 2016 Vauxhall Astra passed its most recent MOT test on 2024-11-06 with 66,544 miles recorded, despite several advisories. While the vehicle's maintenance trend appears stable, with no major defects recorded, the recurring issues with brake discs and suspension components suggest ongoing wear. The presence of worn brake discs on both front axles and slight play in the nearside front suspension rod ball joint indicate a need for closer inspection. The vehicle's mileage pattern is consistent with its age, with approximately 6,654 miles added per year, which is roughly typical for its age. However, the data reveals a notable gap in mileage accumulation between 2019 and 2020, with a 3,672-mile gap between the 2019-03-02 and 2020-01-16 tests. This could indicate a period of reduced usage or long-term standing. Conversely, the vehicle's mileage has accelerated in recent years, with a 22,460-mile increase between the 2022-09-01 and 2024-11-06 tests. A closer inspection of the vehicle is necessary, particularly regarding the brake discs and suspension components. The worn brake discs on both front axles may require replacement, while the slight play in the nearside front suspension rod ball joint could indicate worn or loose components. Furthermore, the presence of two nails in the offside rear tyre suggests a potential for uneven tyre wear and reduced traction. Additionally, the slight up/down movement in the steering column warrants investigation to ensure the vehicle's structural integrity is maintained.
