Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Prioritise checking the current condition of the front tyres, as the October 2025 MOT specifically flagged both as being worn close to the legal limit. You should also verify if the rear brake pads, which were noted as wearing thin in September 2023, have since been replaced.
When reviewing the service history, look for evidence of regular oil and filter changes for the 1.9L diesel engine. Given the low mileage, ensure the vehicle hasn't spent excessive time stationary, which can lead to other degradation issues not captured in MOT tests.
The 1.9L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, though fuel costs will depend on your annual mileage. As a 2015 model, it will fall into a standard diesel tax bracket for its era, and the Astra generally sits in a moderate insurance group.
Typical maintenance will involve periodic tyre replacements and brake servicing. Based on the model's profile and engine size, you should budget for routine consumables and annual servicing to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Closely inspect the front tyre tread depth and the condition of the nearside rear coil spring, which was the cause of a failure in August 2022. Ensure the replacement spring is in good condition and there are no new signs of fractures.
Additionally, check the functionality of all headlamps and ensure the engine management light is not illuminated, as these are among the most common failure points recorded for the Astra across aggregate MOT data. Check the rear brake pads for remaining thickness if the 2023 advisory was not addressed.
This blue 2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.9L diesel has covered 61,574 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history shows five tests with one failure in 2022 due to tyres and a fractured coil spring. Recent records indicate a pattern of tyre wear, with advisories noted in both 2022 and 2025.
The Astra has a 78% average MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, tyres, and engine management lights.
