2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · ST66 YFU

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance trend, passing every MOT without a single defect or advisory. The most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 50,389 miles yielded a clean pass, confirming the vehicle currently meets all UK roadworthiness standards. This unblemished record implies consistent mechanical care and the absence of any underlying progressive faults. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 model, averaging just over 5,000 miles annually. Between the November 2024 test at 43,006 miles and the November 2025 test at 50,389 miles, the vehicle covered 7,383 miles in a twelve-month period, indicating recent use has actually increased slightly compared to the historical average. Prior to this, the car saw steady increments, such as the 4,689 miles added between December 2021 and December 2022. The data shows no sudden mileage spikes or suspicious gaps, suggesting regular, albeit light, usage. Despite the flawless MOT history, the low annual mileage warrants a physical inspection of components that deteriorate from standing rather than use. A buyer should inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the calipers for binding, as short trips often prevent pads from wiping rotors clean. Tyre sidewalls require close scrutiny for cracking or perishing, as low-mileage vehicles often sit stationary for extended periods. Suspension bushes and coil springs should also be examined for deterioration, as light use can sometimes mask wear that manifests once the vehicle returns to regular driving.
