2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FH65 BYP

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 1 April 2026 at 161,058 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. The vehicle cleared its test one day after a failed attempt on 31 March 2026 at the same mileage, though the failure carried no listed defects, indicating an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical concern. At roughly 11 years old, the car has covered 161,058 miles, averaging about 14,642 miles per year, which is high for its age and points to sustained motorway or commuter use. The records show steady annual accumulation: 147,786 miles in April 2024, 154,623 miles in April 2025, and 161,058 miles by April 2026. The near-identical mileage on the two April 2026 entries suggests the owner rectified a non-mechanical failure promptly. No long stationary periods or abrupt mileage jumps appear in the data. The DVSA record is clean of advisories and defects across all five tests. That gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the high mileage and age. The absence of flagged items does not certify component condition beyond the test day. Previous keepers kept the Astra through consistent annual testing with no recorded consumable or structural neglect. The repeated pass-fail-pass pattern at identical mileages reflects procedural anomalies, not deferred maintenance. Verify service history and in-person checks before purchase.
