VAUXHALL ASTRA2015 · 1.6L DIESEL

The Vauxhall Astra shows a resolved roadworthiness status following its most recent test on 5 December 2025 at 57,751 miles, where it passed with no defects after an initial failure the same day for a fractured near-side rear coil spring. The maintenance trend is improving rather than worsening. The November 2023 pass at 50,872 miles was clean. A year later the car failed on an inoperative tyre pressure monitoring system and thin rear brake pads, then passed once those were addressed. The December 2025 spring fracture was rectified before the pass, so no outstanding advisories remain. Recorded mileage sits at 57,751 against an eleven-year-old car, averaging roughly 5,250 miles per year. The sparse history spans three tests: 50,872 miles in November 2023, 54,577 in December 2024, and 57,751 in December 2025. Annual accumulation stayed near 3,700 to 3,200 miles, confirming light use with no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps. Low mileage of this sort often means prolonged standing periods, which can accelerate rubber perishing and corrosion even when consumable wear stays minimal. A buyer should still inspect the rear suspension in person. The near-side rear coil spring fractured at 57,751 miles, so check the off-side spring and both spring seats for fatigue or rust pitting. The December 2024 failure on rear brake pad wear, though cleared, warrants a physical check of disc condition and caliper operation at the rear. Confirm the tyre pressure monitoring system functions correctly, as its prior inoperation suggests the previous owner neglected basic electrical fault resolution. No structural corrosion or exhaust issues appear in the record, which reflects reasonable underlying care despite the isolated faults.
