2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · YN15 AFU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2025 at 128,409 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred in July 2023, the immediate re-pass the following day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying the identified fault rather than allowing a mechanical issue to persist. The mileage accumulation pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage, with 6,700 miles covered between the August 2022 and July 2023 tests, and another 5,785 miles recorded between July 2024 and June 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subject to excessive sitting, which is often beneficial for engine seals, gaskets, and brake components that can suffer from corrosion or seizing during long periods of inactivity. Given the clean records of the three most recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage wear-related components that do not always trigger an MOT failure. At over 128,000 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers are likely showing signs of age and fatigue. The buyer should inspect the condition of the brake discs for thinning and check the structural integrity of the chassis for surface corrosion, as these are common points of failure on Astra models of this era despite a clean MOT history.
