2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · OW15 AEP

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 09 May 2025 at 91,174 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This pattern suggests that the owner is willing to rectify identified issues immediately to ensure compliance, as the vehicle has consistently achieved clean passes following re-test failures in the last two years. The mileage progression is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. Between the 22 May 2023 test at 73,132 miles and the 03 May 2024 test at 82,310 miles, the car covered 9,178 miles. A further 8,864 miles were recorded before the 2025 inspection. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in May 2024 and 2025, although the provided data does not detail the exact mechanical faults. Given the age and mileage of this Astra, it is vital to check for corrosion on the suspension mounting and control arm bushes. You should also inspect the brake discs for pitting and ensure there is no significant uneven wear as the vehicle approaches the 100,000-mile mark. Any signs of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox would also warrant scrutiny at this interval.
