2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · WR15 DXH

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on January 20 2026 with 72,509 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable trajectory following a brief failure in early 2025. Since that failure, the Astra has undergone two consecutive successful tests without any recorded defects, indicating that the previously identified issues were addressed and the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum legal safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 12,810 miles between March 2023 and March 2024, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 8,295 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. This variation suggests the car may have sat for extended periods in the past, though the low overall mileage for an 11-year-old vehicle generally reduces the mechanical strain on the engine and primary suspension components. The failure on March 13, 2025, at 71,585 miles highlights a lapse in basic consumable maintenance. The tester flagged multiple rear tyre failures, including structural separation, perishing, and uneven wear, alongside a faulty nearside rear lamp. While these were rectified, a buyer should inspect the remaining tyres for signs of age rot or cracking, as low mileage often masks rubber degradation that exceeds tread wear. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and brake arm corrosion is necessary, as these components degrade over time regardless of the distance driven.
