2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · WF16 MXD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 14, 2026, at 105,012 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the car failed a test just two days prior at 104,952 miles due to a nearside rear door that would not open from the outside, the defect was rectified quickly. This suggests the owner only addresses specific mechanical faults when forced to do by an MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. There was a notable increase of over 13,000 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, followed by another 22,400 miles between July 2024 and May 2026. This regular usage indicates the car has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which explains the expected wear on consumable components like brakes and tyres noted in the history. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the record flags thin brake pads in both July 2024 at 82,598 miles and May 2025 at 93,854 miles. The fact that this issue persisted across two test cycles suggests the owner deferred brake maintenance until the absolute limit. Additionally, the uneven wear on the nearside rear tyre recorded in 2024 points to a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require a physical inspection to ensure no further structural damage is occurring to the drivetrain.
