2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · MD15 MYB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean record across the last three annual inspections. The most recent test in November 2024 at 84,801 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum standards for road use. This trend suggests a consistent approach to basic maintenance, as the vehicle has cleared three consecutive tests without the initial failure recorded in early 2022. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the car covered 9,707 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage rate rather than periods of neglect or heavy commuting. The gap between the February 2022 failure and the subsequent pass-next-day re-test indicates the owner addressed the specific issue immediately, though the record does not detail the specific mechanical nature of that one-off fault at 69,190 miles. Despite the clean MOT history recently, a buyer should focus inspection on components susceptible to age at this specific mileage bracket. At nearly 85,000 miles, rubber components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre boots often show signs of cracking or wear that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they become critical. Checking for surface corrosion on the sills and exhaust system is also necessary, as the MOT only flags structural rust once it reaches a specific threshold of degradation.
