2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DS15 JLO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 May 2025 at 98,433 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failure followed by a successful retest. In both June 2024 and May 2025, the Astra failed its inspection on one day and passed the very next. This suggests that the owner addresses identified defects, such as blown bulbs or minor adjustments, immediately rather than allowing mechanical issues to persist. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between the June 2023 test at 76,877 miles and the June 2024 test at 89,053 miles, the car covered 12,176 miles in a year. Another 9,380 miles were recorded between June 2024 and 2025. This steady usage indicates regular driving rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits components like brake lines and seals by preventing them from seizing. While the history shows no long-term structural failures or recurring mechanical defects, the buyer should perform a physical inspection of components prone to age-related wear. Specifically, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber, as these often degrade on Astras at this mileage. Given the recent retests, a close look at the brake system and the condition of the discs is advisable to ensure that the minor failures have not impacted the overall integrity of the braking hardware.
