2015 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · DF65 KYP

The 2025‑12‑03 MOT at 94,115 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the vehicle is currently roadworthy. The maintenance record shows a stable pattern, with each annual test from 2018 to 2025 reporting a pass, except for the 2023 failure that involved a fractured near‑side rear coil spring, a serious suspension defect that was corrected before the next inspection. Mileage has risen steadily from 33,139 miles in December 2018 to 94,115 miles in December 2025, averaging about 8,556 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an 11‑year‑old Astra. No long periods of inactivity are evident, as the mileage increments between consecutive tests range from 6,991 to 10,279 miles, confirming continuous operation. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, examining the near‑side rear coil spring, bushes and shock absorbers for cracks, corrosion or binding, given the 2023 fracture and the earlier 2019 tyre wear that suggests compromised alignment. Inspect the rear brake pads for the thin condition noted in 2019, the condition of the brake discs, and verify that the rear calipers move freely, as the 2023 test recorded binding rear brakes. Finally, check the chassis rails, wheel arches and any areas around the rear suspension for rust, especially where the 2019 tyre nail penetrated the tyre and where the 2023 spring failure may have exposed underlying metal.
