2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.2L Diesel · OU65 ADO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on October 27, 2025, at 133,023 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently cleared the testing requirements despite previous initial failures. While the record shows failures in both 2023 and 2025, the subsequent passes without recorded advisories indicate that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults to ensure the vehicle meets legal standards. At 11 years old, this Astra has covered a significant distance of approximately 12,000 miles per annum, which suggests consistent annual use rather than periods of neglect. The mileage accumulation is steady, showing an increase of 17,312 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 12,609 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This high usage typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and brake hardware compared to lower-mileage examples of the same age. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage stress. Given the history of initial failures, the tester likely identified issues such as lighting malfunctions, exhaust leaks, or minor emissions irregularities that were immediately addressed. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and wing arches, which are common on this generation of Astra at this mileage. Additionally, check the suspension for play and the brake discs for excessive wear to ensure the high annual mileage has not led to premature mechanical degradation.
