2013 VAUXHALL ASTRA1.4L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent MOT conducted on 15 August 2025 at 84,088 miles passed without defects or advisories, indicating that the Astra is currently meeting the minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded in late August 2024, the immediate pass on the same day suggests that any identified faults were rectified promptly rather than allowed to persist. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Between September 2022 at 68,415 miles and August 2025 at 84,088 miles, the car covered 15,673 miles, reflecting steady, low-intensity usage. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage vehicles sometimes suffer from age-related degradation of rubber components, such as bushings and seals, which do not always correlate directly with distance driven. A buyer should investigate the specific cause of the failure recorded during the August 2024 test, as the record does not detail the mechanical or structural reason for the rejection. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on checking for corrosion on the sills and wing arches, which are common failure points for this model. Additionally, verifying the condition of the suspension bushes and brake caliper movement is advisable to ensure that the low usage frequency has not led to perished rubber or seized components over time.
