2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DP65 VMJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on April 6, 2026, 80,238 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance history shows an improving trend. While the car failed in both 2024 and 2025, the owner successfully addressed the issues to achieve consecutive clean passes. This suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults once they are flagged by the testing centre. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 67,421 miles and the June 2025 test at 75,198 miles, the car covered 7,777 miles. The subsequent interval of 5,040 miles leading to the April 2026 test indicates slightly lower usage recently. This level of use is generally beneficial for mechanical components as it prevents the accelerated degradation and corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should still verify the specific components that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the provided summary does not detail the exact mechanical faults. Given the age of the Astra, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines is essential to ensure no new wear is developing. Pay close attention to structural integrity along the chassis and around the sills and wheel arches, as these are common areas of corrosion for this model as they age beyond a decade.
