2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · T3 EKW

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 February 2026 with 80,630 miles. The maintenance history indicates a stable trend where the vehicle consistently meets minimum standards following initial test failures. While the record shows immediate failures in both 2025 and 2026, the subsequent passes without recorded defects suggest that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults to ensure the car remains legal for road. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between February 2024 at 60,141 miles and February 2025 at 70,881 miles, the car covered roughly 10,000 miles, representing a higher-than-average period. The subsequent 9,749 miles recorded between the February 2025 and 2026 tests show a consistent usage pattern. This regular use is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components that can otherwise dry out during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in February 2025 and 2026, as the provided data does not list the specific defect codes for those instances. It is vital to verify if common issues like light bulbs, wipers, or minor fluid leaks were addressed. Given the age of the Astra, a close inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion and the condition of suspension bushes is necessary, as these are typical points of failure on this model regardless of low mileage. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning will also ensure the recent passes reflect high-quality maintenance.
