2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FH15 KAJ

The 2015 Vauxhall Astra presents a stable maintenance trend, with its most recent MOT occurring on 30 May 2025 at 124,065 miles, passing with no defects recorded. Although this clean bill of health indicates the vehicle met all required safety and environmental standards at that time, over a year has elapsed since the last inspection. The absence of any recorded defects in recent years suggests the previous owner addressed minor wear items proactively, maintaining the car to a consistent standard rather than allowing faults to accumulate. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,279 miles per year. The annual MOT tests show steady, incremental increases: 105,301 miles in May 2023, 115,155 miles in May 2024, and 124,065 miles in May 2025. This consistent yearly progression rules out long periods of standing or sudden high-mileage surges, pointing to regular, daily driving rather than sporadic use. While the official record shows no recurring mechanical faults, a notable anomaly exists in the 2022 test history. The vehicle failed the MOT on 7 June 2022 at 94,225 miles, yet the record lists no specific defects, before passing a retest just two days later on 9 June 2022 at 94,235 miles. This discrepancy suggests an administrative failure or a minor issue rectified immediately, but the exact cause remains undocumented. Given the vehicle's age and typical mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the undercarriage and suspension bushes. Check for corrosion on the exhaust system, brake discs, and coil springs, as these components endure steady wear over 124,000 miles. Inspect the tyre condition and brake calipers for any signs of binding, ensuring the clean MOT history translates to the physical reality of the car.
