2015 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · DA15 KZM

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 May 2025 at 118,271 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 9 June 2023 at 113,495 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed, immediately followed the same day by a pass at 113,497 miles. This suggests an administrative or data-entry anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical fault, and the subsequent clean passes confirm the vehicle has not entered a worsening condition. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,752 miles, typical for an eleven-year-old car. The records show 104,960 miles in June 2022, rising to 113,497 by June 2023, then 117,024 in June 2024 and 118,271 by May 2025. The yearly accumulation is consistent and modest, with no rapid spikes that would imply heavy commercial use or drivetrain strain. The clean sheet across all tests indicates the previous owner kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, though the sparse advisory data means worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or tired brake discs were never formally flagged for the buyer to review. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT history offers no visibility of these areas beyond the pass results. The clean record gives no evidence of binding calipers, fractured coil springs, or exhaust leaks, but the absence of advisories at this mileage is unusual and may reflect tester leniency rather than a fault-free chassis. Given the low annual use and unbroken pass sequence since the 2023 anomaly, the Astra reads as a lightly stressed example. Prior to purchase, verify the 2023 failure reason with DVSA, confirm service history, and have a mechanic check brake disc thickness and suspension arm condition that routine MOT entries did not capture.
