2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · SD66 WMZ

The 2026‑07‑27 MOT at 93,318 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the Vauxhall Astra is presently roadworthy; the maintenance trend over the past five years shows improvement, as earlier records documented brake disc wear and exhaust flexi‑pipe deterioration but subsequent tests have eliminated those faults. Mileage has risen from 20,924 miles in October 2019 to 93,318 miles in July 2026, averaging roughly 9,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old vehicle; the annual MOT schedule with no extended intervals indicates consistent operation and no evidence of long periods of standing, aside from a notable increase of 19,628 miles between the August 2021 and August 2022 tests. A buyer should therefore inspect the brake system closely, focusing on pad thickness, disc condition, caliper movement and suspension bushes, given the repeated reports of worn, pitted or scored discs and a binding rear service brake in 2023; the 2023 exhaust flexi‑pipe deterioration warrants a visual check for corrosion or cracks, while the absence of structural rust advisories suggests the chassis remains sound, though a thorough examination of wheel bearings, suspension components and brake hardware is advisable.
