2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.0L Petrol · XJ02 DEN

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 27 August 2025 at 43,080 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without the recurring mechanical failures often seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,308 miles per year. The progression is steady and linear, moving from 27,334 miles in August 2021 to 43,080 miles by August 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps that would suggest undocumented commercial use or significant periods of neglect. While the MOT history is devoid of flagged faults, the low annual mileage introduces specific risks. Long periods of inactivity or short journeys can lead to moisture buildup in the exhaust system and the degradation of rubber components. A buyer should manually inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, even if the tread depth remains legal. The absence of any advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion over five years is rare. However, because the tester has not flagged any wear on consumables, it is advisable to verify when the engine oil and filters were last changed. The clean record suggests a conscientious previous owner, but the physical inspection should focus on fluid quality and battery health to ensure the car has not suffered from under-use.
