2015 Vauxhall Antara 2.2L Diesel · K17 CAK

The 2015 Vauxhall Antara presents a stable and largely improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 13 May 2026 at 86,344 miles. The only defect recorded during that most recent test was a slightly damaged nearside rear outer seat belt buckle, classified as a minor advisory rather than a failure point. A retest conducted on the same day at the same mileage confirms the fault was promptly rectified. This is a positive indicator of responsible ownership in the short term. Mileage accumulation sits at approximately 7,849 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests consistent, moderate use rather than prolonged standing or excessive wear. The record shows a steady progression from 67,527 miles in May 2024 to 76,414 miles in May 2025, representing an 8,887-mile increase over twelve months. The subsequent jump to 86,344 miles by May 2026 adds 9,930 miles, indicating a slight uptick in annual usage over the most recent year. No concerning gaps or anomalies appear in the odometer history. The 2024 test at 67,527 miles flagged worn and pitted rear brake discs on both sides alongside worn front discs, though neither was deemed seriously weakened at that stage. Given the additional 18,817 miles covered since, a buyer should have the braking system inspected in person, paying particular attention to disc thickness, pad condition, and any signs of uneven wear or binding calipers. The recurring position lamp failures in 2025 and early 2026, while minor, suggest checking the vehicle's electrical connectors and bulb holders for corrosion or loose wiring, particularly at the offside front and nearside rear. The seat belt buckle advisory, though resolved, warrants a physical check of both rear belt mechanisms to confirm smooth engagement and full retraction. Structurally, the Antara's age and mileage combination makes an underbody inspection advisable, with focus on suspension bushes, coil springs, and any corrosion around mounting points or subframes.
