VAUXHALL ASTRA2013 · 1.7L Diesel

The Vauxhall Astra holds a valid roadworthy pass from the 13 October 2025 test at 153,889 miles, with the examiner recording no defects. Maintenance trend stays stable across the three-year MOT trail; the 16 October 2023 examination at 127,293 miles, the 19 October 2024 pass at 139,716 miles and the latest test all returned clean sheets with no advisories on brakes, suspension or emissions. Two anomalous failures appear on 11 October 2025 at 153,886 miles and 19 October 2024 at 139,713 miles, each showing no defects and followed closely by a pass, which points to administrative rejection rather than component failure. Mileage progression matches expected use for a 2013 derivative. The clock moved from 127,293 miles in October 2023 to 139,716 miles by October 2024, a 12,423-mile year, then to 153,889 miles by October 2025, a 14,173-mile year. This steady accrual signals regular road use without extended dormancy. The official record is sparse yet unblemished; five annual tests surface, none flagging tyre tread, wiper blades or corrosion issues common at this age. A purchaser should still arrange hands-on scrutiny of structural integrity and age-sensitive mechanical parts despite the clean paper history. Vauxhall Astra chassis often develop tired front suspension bushes, fractured rear coil springs and thinned brake discs that a pass result may not highlight. The near-same-day fail-pass pairs warrant a DVSA query to confirm no omitted fault codes. Given 153,889 miles on the odometer, inspect exhaust emissions and underbody rust before commitment.
