2015 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · FP65 CVD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of neglected basic consumable items. While the most recent test on 20 July 2026 at 95,726 miles passed, it again flagged an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit with significant inner wear. This mirrors a multi-year pattern where tyre-related defects are recurring, suggesting that the owner only addresses these issues when they reach failure or advisory status rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage progression is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. The data shows steady use, moving from 24,872 miles in September 2018 to over 95,000 miles by 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest long periods of stagnation, though the accumulation of mileage puts the vehicle into a stage where mechanical components like suspension bushings and rubber engine parts are likely to show age-related degradation. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension and wheel alignment. The record repeatedly identifies the offside front tyre as wearing on the inner edge across 2020, 2024, 2025, and 2026. This consistent pattern indicates a persistent geometry issue, worn control arms, or failing ball joints that will continue to destroy new tyres if not rectified. Additionally, the 2022 test noted perishing tyres and uneven wear on the nearside rear, suggesting the rear axle should also be checked for cracks in components or excessive corrosion.
