2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · SE64 EFH

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 6 October 2025 at 76,584 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a recurring pattern of immediate re-tests following failures. In both 2024 and 2025, the Astra failed its test just days before passing, suggesting that the previous owner addressed specific minor defects quickly to maintain legal compliance without demonstrating proactive long-term mechanical overhaul. The mileage progression is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 61,387 miles and the 2024 test at 68,994 miles, the car covered roughly 7,600 miles. A further 7,590 miles were recorded between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. This regular usage pattern is generally beneficial for mechanical seals and components, as it prevents the degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the history shows no major structural failures or persistent mechanical defects, the repeated re-tests indicate that the vehicle frequently operates at the limit of MOT standards. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on Astras of this era. Given the age of the car, checking for surface corrosion on the rear sills and evaluating the condition of the brake discs is essential to ensure that the recent passes were not merely masking underlying wear or rust.
