Our Verdict
Recommended. This vehicle has a consiste
The primary focus for a buyer should be the advisories from the October 2025 MOT. The exhaust leak at the flexi section and the thinning nearside rear brake pads are immediate maintenance items that should be addressed; these points provide a fair basis for price negotiation.
Given the low mileage, ensure the service history confirms regular oil changes, as low-usage vehicles can still suffer from degradation if intervals are ignored. Verify that the tyres are in good condition, as the MOT history shows a pattern of tyre-related advisories in 2022 and 2023.
The 1.6L petrol engine offers a balance of performance and economy, though it will be less fuel-efficient than the diesel variants of the Astra. Insurance for this model typically falls into a mid-range group, making it accessible for most drivers.
Maintenance costs for the Astra are generally moderate due to the widespread availability of parts in the UK. Based on the engine size and age, expect typical annual costs for tax, insurance, and routine servicing to be consistent with other small family hatchbacks.
Prioritise an inspection of the exhaust system, specifically the flexi section, to determine if the minor leak noted in 2025 has worsened. The nearside rear brake pads should be checked for remaining thickness, as they were flagged as wearing thin in the most recent test.
Additionally, check all four tyres for cracking or uneven wear. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of tyre issues, including a damaged offside rear tyre in 2022 and a worn nearside rear tyre in 2023. Finally, check the rear registration plate to ensure it has been replaced following the 2023 advisory.
This silver 2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 petrol has recorded five MOT tests with five passes. With 57,993 miles recorded in October 2025, it has been driven less than the model average of 6,744 miles per year. While the record is clean of failures, recent advisories highlight emerging wear on the exhaust and braking system.
The Vauxhall Astra has an average MOT pass rate of 78.0%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps, tyres, and engine management lights.
