2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · FH15 RYB

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following the June 2025 test, where the tester passed it at 76,970 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. The only anomaly is a failed test on 9 June 2025 at 76,964 miles carrying no recorded defects, immediately followed the same day by a pass at 76,970 miles, which points to an administrative or data-entry error rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 6,997 miles per year for an 11-year-old vehicle, rising from 56,640 miles at the June 2021 test to 67,130 by May 2023, then 70,708 in May 2024 and 76,970 by June 2025. The record shows a two-year gap between the 2021 and 2023 tests, after which annual testing resumed. Low overall use suggests lighter wear on consumables and drivetrain parts, though standing periods can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unnoticed. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, brake calipers, and underbody structure given the sparse history and the 2021 to 2023 gap. The clean MOT sheets provide no flagged wear on tyres or wiper blades, yet absence of advisories does not confirm component condition at eleven years old. Verify the June 2025 fail-pass pair with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect, then check for structural rust and binding brakes before purchase.
