2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · GU15 FSV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on March 7 2025 with 98,110 miles and no recorded defects. This represents a significant improvement over the March 2024 period where the car failed the test due to multiple consumable and lighting issues. The transition from a fail-state to a clean pass indicates that the previous owner addressed the flagged mechanical and safety items identified during the 2024 inspection. At 98,110 miles over eleven years, the Astra has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a family hatchback. The data shows a notable increase in activity between April 2022 (51,839 miles) and March 2024 (82,578 miles), where the vehicle covered over 30,000 miles in just two years. This period of heavy use likely accelerated the degradation of rubber components and suspension hardware despite the low annual average. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition, as these areas show recurring issues. Records from 2022 through 2024 consistently flagged thin brake pads and pitted or scored front brake discs. While the 2025 pass suggests these have been serviced, a tester should check for binding calipers or uneven wear on the current rotors. Additionally, the history of perishing and low tread depth in 2022 and 2023 suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods or use low-quality rubber, necessitating a close look at sidewall cracking on the current set.
