2015 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · DL15 FEF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 December 2025 at 98,720 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific mechanical issue was identified and rectified immediately prior to the retest, as the vehicle has maintained a clean sheet record across the previous three annual inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between June 2023 and October 2023, the car covered only 277 miles, indicating a period of low use or storage. However, the mileage increased by 8,037 miles between December 2024 and December 2025, showing a return to regular annual driving. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for drivetrain and suspension components compared to vehicles that sit for long periods without movement. While the digital record shows a lack of recurring mechanical advisories, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components prone to age-related wear at the 100,0000-mile threshold. Focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers, as these often degrade at this mileage. Given the brief failure and subsequent pass in December 2025, verify that the specific fault was addressed properly to ensure the fix was permanent. Inspect the brake lines for corrosion and check the underside sills for surface rust to ensure the structural integrity remains sound as the vehicle enters its age.
