2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FP65 YDC

The August 2025 MOT at 102,679 miles passed without defect, confirming that the Vauxhall Astra remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend. No advisory or defect was logged in any of the five tests spanning 2022 to 2025, indicating consistent care. The vehicle’s mileage has risen from 89,678 miles in June 2022 to 102,679 miles in August 2025, a gain of roughly 13,001 miles over 35 months, or about 9,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 11‑year‑old model. The interval between the June 2022 and August 2023 tests was 14 months and covered 3,718 miles, while the 2024‑2025 period saw a larger increase of 8,401 miles in one year, suggesting normal driving cycles rather than abrupt mileage spikes. The August 2024 test recorded both a pass at 94,278 miles and a failure at 94,077 miles with no defects noted, reinforcing the consistency of the data. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that commonly show wear in this model: suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or corrosion, brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust. Inspect tyre tread depth and condition, verify that wiper blades are serviceable, and confirm that the exhaust system meets emission standards, as the MOT history shows no recurring failures but does not guarantee absence of hidden corrosion or component fatigue. A thorough visual inspection of the underbody and a check of the steering linkage will help assess whether the stable MOT record reflects genuine mechanical health.
