2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · J24 ABJ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, passing its most recent MOT test on 17 October 2025 at 119,749 miles. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the immediate pass indicates that the identified defect was rectified prior to the retest. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three successful tests suggests that the vehicle is currently meeting minimum legal standards without obvious mechanical degradation or structural corrosion. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,886 miles per year. The progression from 109,209 miles in October 2023 to 119,749 miles in October 2025 shows a steady accumulation of roughly 5,270 miles per annum. This regular use suggests the car has been driven consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals, rubber components, and fluid integrity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most prone to wear at this mileage level, despite the clean MOT history. Given the age of the Astra, close inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary to check for signs of play or weeping. The braking system should also be evaluated for binding calipers or thinning disc surfaces, as the MOT only tests for functional failure rather than overall wear. Checking the chassis for developing surface rust also remains a prudent step to ensure the structural integrity of the vehicle remains sound for future tests.
