2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · OW16 ADZ

The Vauxhall Astra passed its most recent MOT on 13 July 2026 at 90,419 miles with only a minor registration plate lamp advisory, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy and the maintenance trend is stable with no worsening defects. Prior tests show a clean record from July 2023 through July 2024, and the 2025 test flagged merely an edge-worn nearside front tyre. The pattern indicates previous owners addressed consumable wear without neglect of structural or mechanical systems. Annual mileage averages 9,042 across the ten-year life, a typical figure for this age of car. The records show steady yearly accumulation: 57,504 miles in July 2022, 64,820 in July 2023, 73,151 in July 2024, 82,226 in July 2025, and 90,419 in July 2026. No gaps or sudden spikes appear. The 2022 test carries the most fault entries, after which the history turns clean, suggesting a period of deferred minor upkeep was corrected rather than ignored. The July 2022 test at 57,504 miles recorded worn edge tyres on both front offside and rear offside, cracking on the offside rear tyre, and thin brake pads at both rear calipers. These were consumable items, not structural faults, and later tests show no recurrence of brake or tyre defects beyond the 2025 nearside front edge wear. A buyer should still verify rear brake pad thickness and disc condition in person, inspect all tyres for sidewall perishing, and confirm the plate lamp fault from the latest test is repaired. No corrosion, suspension bush, coil spring, or emissions failures appear anywhere in the record. The absence of structural advisories across nine years and 90,000 miles implies the body and chassis have been kept sound. Given the clean recent history, only routine consumable checks are warranted before purchase.
