2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · FN15 ACU

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2026-03-10 MOT at 94,667 miles recording no defects. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests since 2023, including the 2025-03-17 and 2024-02-27 assessments. However, an apparent anomaly exists in the 2024-02-27 record, which notes both a failed and passed result at the same mileage, though no defects were listed. This inconsistency may reflect administrative error but warrants scrutiny. Overall, the absence of recorded faults in recent tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards. The mileage progression aligns with typical annual usage for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,606 miles per year. Notable gaps between tests—such as the 17,345-mile increase between 2024-02-27 and 2025-03-17—could indicate periods of reduced activity or extended intervals between inspections. While this does not inherently signal neglect, higher mileage accumulations may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. The lack of recurring defects in the history implies no systemic issues, though the 2024-02-27 failure without recorded faults remains unexplained. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common in older models. Structural integrity, including underbody rust or panel corrosion, is critical to assess, as MOT records do not capture such issues. The absence of advisories in recent tests is reassuring, but physical examination of high-mileage wear points remains essential.
