2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · PL15 SLV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in February 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the recent failure indicates a reactive oversight. The car failed just two days prior to its last test at 65,477 miles for a fractured nearside rear lower coil spring and a TPMS warning. The immediate rectification of these issues to pass again at 65,513 miles suggests the owner is responsive to safety-critical defects once identified. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between October 2022 at 43,958 miles and October 2023 at 59,631 miles, where the car covered over 15,000 miles in a single year. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, it can lead to rubber degradation and brake-related issues if the vehicle sits for long periods of inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension and braking system, as the 2021 test at 30,423 miles flagged thin front brake pads, worn discs, and edge-worn front tyres. Given the fractured coil spring found in 2025, the buyer should check all remaining suspension components for signs of corrosion or perished rubber bushings. The TPMS light also requires verification to ensure the sensor fault noted in February 2025 was fully resolved rather than merely cleared.
