2015 Vauxhall Astra Emerg-Y Services Cdtieco 1.2L Diesel · OU65 AEJ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT result. The most recent test conducted on December 7, 2025 at 153,648 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the previous owner addressed outstanding mechanical concerns. While the car suffered a failure in late 2024, the subsequent pass suggests the essential safety components are currently maintained to a functional standard for the immediate term. The mileage profile reflects high usage for an eleven-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year. A significant surge in usage is visible between August 2020 and September 2021, where the vehicle covered over 26,000 miles in just thirteen months. Since that period, the accumulation has remained consistent, averaging roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles annually. This consistent high-mileage pattern puts accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to lower-mileage domestic examples. A prospective buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front drive shaft area, as the deteriorated CV boot previously caused a failure in September 2024. Although this was repaired, visual signs of grease leakage or play in the joint would indicate a poor repair or premature wear. The tyre pressure monitoring system, which failed as inoperative in 2024, also requires verification to ensure the sensor or module is fully functional. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and the condition of the brake discs is necessary to ensure these components have not reached the end of their service life.
