2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · EK15 AAV

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 78,177 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently avoided failures and major advisories over the last eight years. However, the most recent test identified both nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and specifically on the edge, indicating a need for immediate attention to consumable items despite the overall pass result. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-moderate usage profile, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. The record shows steady progression with no significant gaps; for instance, the vehicle covered roughly 5,600 miles between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests. This de-facto of regular use suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods, which is generally beneficial for seals, gaskets, and brake components, though the age of the vehicle means rubber parts may be beginning to degrade due to time rather than just mileage alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and alignment due to the recurring history of uneven tyre wear. The 2023 test flagged the offside front tyre wearing on the inner edge, and the 2026 test noted edge wear on both front tyres. This pattern often points to worn suspension bushes, faulty ball joints, or control arms, alongside incorrect camber geometry. Inspecting the front end for excessive play and checking the shock absorbers for leaks is essential to ensure these issues do not cause premature wear on new tyres.
