2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FN65 CDY

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 October 2025 at 97,584 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed attempt with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in October 2024 at 86,288 miles, October 2023 at 78,798 miles, and November 2022 at 62,323 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories raised. Recorded mileage sits at 97,584 against an 11-year lifespan, averaging 8,871 miles per year and matching typical use for this age of vehicle. The jump from 62,323 miles in November 2022 to 78,798 miles in October 2023 shows around 16,475 miles in eleven months, above the annual average but not extreme. From 2023 to 2024 the car covered 7,490 miles, then 11,296 miles to the 2025 test. The DVSA history is sparse and clean across all entries, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion ever flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The absence of advisories across five years means worn consumables such as brake discs, coil springs, and suspension bushes may simply be undocumented rather than absent. The twin 28 October 2025 entries warrant confirmation that the failure was clerical and not a withheld defect. Given the clean trail, previous owners appear to have kept the car to a basic pass standard without neglecting statutory testing. Verify structural integrity underneath for rust and check for binding calipers or tired rubber components that a no-defect MOT will not capture on a light-use motor.
