2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · SA16 ABV

The Vauxhall Astra shows a stable roadworthiness status, with the most recent DVSA test on 28 August 2025 at 43,937 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The tester flagged no corrosion, brake imbalance, or suspension wear across five consecutive examinations from 5 March 2021 to 28 August 2025. Each test cleared without advisories, confirming a maintenance trend that is steady rather than worsening or resolving because no faults entered the record. Mileage accumulation stays low for a 2016 vehicle. The odometer read 27,546 miles at the 5 March 2021 test, climbed to 31,054 miles by 11 March 2022, then 36,821 miles on 30 August 2023, 40,656 miles on 30 August 2024, and 43,937 miles on 28 August 2025. Annual additions ranged between roughly 3,300 and 5,800 miles, with a slightly extended 17-month gap between the 2022 and 2023 inspections. This pattern implies light domestic use or periods of storage. The clean record offers no evidence of skipped consumable replacement, though sparse testing leaves service history unverified. A buyer should physically scrutinise components that age irrespective of mileage. The tester noted no advisories on brake discs or pads, yet calipers can bind after long standing, so road-test for pull or heat. Inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as rubber degrades with time. Examine underside for corrosion on sills and subframes despite clean MOT slots. Verify tyre sidewalls for perishing from low usage. The MOT history implies previous owners met statutory testing but does not confirm routine servicing, so validate cambelt and fluid changes independently.
