2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · WR16 ONL

The 2016 Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 May 2025 at 60,871 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Mileage accumulation has been modest and consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 39,553 miles at the 29 April 2022 test, rising to 46,835 by 17 May 2023, 55,347 by 15 May 2024, and 60,871 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant periods. The DVSA history is sparse in advisories, showing no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns across any entry. Given the absence of recorded faults, the previous owner appears to have maintained the car to a standard that satisfied annual roadworthiness checks without outstanding consumable wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers, as MOT passes do not certify component life remaining beyond the test date. Pre-purchase checks ought to confirm tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and underbody corrosion not visible during the annual test. The clean record implies disciplined upkeep, but low annual mileage can mask perished rubber or seized suspension joints from prolonged standing.
