2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · CV15 CPF

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 8 November 2024 at 104,065 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVSA entries show no defects, advisories, or mechanical faults at any stage. This indicates the vehicle has cleared every successful test without flagged wear to suspension, brakes, exhaust, or structure. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for an eleven-year-old car. The record moves from 70,646 miles on 21 November 2022 to 88,350 miles at the 1 December 2023 failure, then 104,021 miles at the 7 November 2024 failure, averaging roughly 9,460 miles per year. The sparse history shows only five entries over two years, with no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps. Two consecutive-day failures in both December 2023 and November 2024, each followed immediately by a pass at near-identical mileage, suggest administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items despite the clean record. The tester logged no corrosion, brake binding, or worn bushes, yet an MOT pass does not measure remaining tyre life or disc wear between tests. Given the 104,065-mile total, suspension components and exhaust integrity warrant hands-on checks for fatigue not captured by the pass results. Previous owners cleared tests without recorded advisories, implying basic upkeep met minimum standards. The same-day resubmission passes show the car was not deferred for repair of faults. Treat the verdict as sound on paper, but verify underbody condition and brake operation before purchase.
