2015 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · LR65 YPO

The Vauxhall Astra’s most recent MOT test on 2025-09-15 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 79,169 miles. Over the past three annual tests—all passing without fail—there is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or a deteriorating trend. The single failure in 2024-09-11 at 72,635 miles was unusual, as it occurred just two days before a subsequent pass at 72,652 miles, suggesting either a minor oversight in the first test or a brief period of non-use between tests. This pattern indicates the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, with no major structural or drivetrain concerns flagged by the tester. The recorded mileage of 79,169 miles over approximately 11 years aligns with typical usage for this age, averaging around 7,200 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, which suggests consistent driving habits rather than prolonged neglect or rapid wear. The 2024 test dates sit unusually close together—just one day apart—though both results were clean, reinforcing that no major issues were overlooked. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested, such as suspension bushes and coil springs, which may show signs of fatigue or corrosion despite no recorded failures. The brakes, while not explicitly faulted, warrant close examination for uneven wear or binding calipers, particularly if the vehicle has experienced sudden stops or heavy loads. Structural integrity should also be checked, especially around wheel arches and sills, where rust can compromise the chassis over time. Tyre condition, though not flagged, should be verified, as the lack of tread-related failures does not guarantee they have been regularly maintained.
