2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DN65 JTY

The 2025‑10‑27 MOT at 62,082 miles resulted in a pass, confirming that the Vauxhall Astra remains road‑legal, yet the record shows a pattern of recurring tyre perishing and rear brake binding that have persisted across multiple tests. Overall the maintenance record is stable, with no major structural failures, but tyre wear and brake issues recur, indicating that previous owners have addressed faults promptly but have not eliminated the underlying causes. Mileage has increased from 41,370 miles in 2018 to 62,082 miles in 2025, a rise of 20,712 miles over seven years, averaging about 2,959 miles per year, which is modest for a 2015 model but higher than the roughly 5,600 miles per year suggested by the low annual average; notable gaps include the 2022‑10‑25 failure followed by a pass the same day after washer fluid correction, and the 2024‑10‑29 failure resolved by the next test, showing that maintenance has been performed between inspections. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of all four tyres for cracking or perishing, verify that the rear service brakes move freely without binding, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, check the chassis for structural rust, confirm the seat‑belt buckle integrity, and test the fuel cap seal and washer system for proper operation.
