2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FN65 RMX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection reveals a minor lapse in safety system maintenance. While the car passed its test in October 2025 at 100,503 miles, it failed just two days prior due to a fault in the supplementary restraint system warning lamp and physical damage to the central rear seat belt casing. Despite this specific failure, the overall maintenance trend remains stable over the previous three years, with no recorded defects noted between 2022 and 2024. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the Astra covered 11,384 miles, moving from 89,119 to 100,503 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car was not subjected to extreme long-distance commuting nor long periods of stagnation that often lead to perished rubber or seized components. The regularity of the annual tests indicates a consistent history of presenting the vehicle for inspection at correct intervals. A buyer must verify that the supplementary restraint system warning lamp has been properly rectified following the October failure, as an active SRS light indicates a potential fault in airbag deployment. The physical damage to the rear seat belt casing should be inspected to ensure the retraction mechanism is not compromised by the impact. Since the way records for the last three years showed no adviseories regarding structural corrosion or mechanical wear, the physical inspection should focus on common high-mileage areas such as the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and the thickness of the brake discs and pads.
