2015 Vauxhall Antara 2.2L Diesel · SH15 YBO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. The most recent test on 10 June 2026 at 58,764 miles resulted in a failure due to electrical faults and poor tyre condition. While the vehicle passed immediately after rectifications, the presence of a damp fuel filter housing and tyres nearing the legal limit suggests that the owner only addresses issues when they threaten an MOT pass rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 11 years old, the recorded 58,764 miles represents a low annual usage average of approximately 5,342 miles. The data shows consistent but low use, with 8,605 miles driven between July 2024 and July 2025, and another 8,536 miles between July 2025 and June 2026. This low-mile profile often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components and brake hardware, which is consistent with the reports of split wiper blades and thin pads noted in the history. A buyer must scrutinise the braking system, as the record shows recurring wear. The July 2025 test at 50,228 miles flagged lipped discs and thin pads on both axles, indicating that the braking hardware is nearing the end of its service life cycle. Furthermore, the June 2026 failure highlighted uneven tyre wear on the inner edges, which frequently points to an underlying alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require immediate attention to prevent premature replacement of new tyres. The damp fuel filter housing identified in the June 2026 test is a specific point of concern, as moisture in the fuel system can lead to engine performance issues or injector damage. A physical inspection should also check for structural corrosion on the underbody, given that low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods are prone to surface rust. The recurring failures of simple light bulbs and registration lamps suggest the wiring loom or sockets may be checked for corrosion or poor connections.
