2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · HN15 ABZ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025-07-28 at 131,316 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend in the immediate term. However, the 2024-08-01 test shows conflicting outcomes—both a pass and a fail recorded for the same mileage, suggesting potential administrative errors or unresolved issues. The 2023-05-19 test at 70,809 miles also passed without defects, while the prior 2023-05-18 test at 70,791 miles failed but listed no defects. These inconsistencies complicate assessing long-term reliability, though the latest result is positive. The vehicle’s mileage of 131,316 miles over 11 years equates to an average of 11,938 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for its age. Notably, the jump from 70,809 miles in May 2023 to 125,638 miles in August 2024 represents a 54,829-mile increase in just 15 months, raising concerns about potential excessive wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements. This rapid accumulation contrasts with the sparse defect data, implying either meticulous maintenance or unrecorded issues. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage can accelerate degradation. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly given the repeated MOT entries. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or panel damage may not be flagged in MOT records. The lack of detailed defect reports in prior tests means physical inspection is critical to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the recorded data.
