2013 VAUXHALL ASTRA GTC SRI CDTI S/S2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in February 2026 at 127,172 miles which resulted in no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently achieved clean passes over the last three years. While a single failure occurred in late 2023, the immediate rectification and subsequent clean records suggest the owner addresses necessary repairs promptly rather than allowing mechanical degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Data shows a steady accumulation, with 15,150 miles covered between December 2023 and February 2025, and another 15,160 miles recorded between February 2025 and February 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for seals and rubber components, though it places standard wear on the drivetrain and suspension assembly. Despite the clean recent history, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components prone to high-mileage wear and age. At over 127,000 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for play or cracking, and the exhaust system inspected for corrosion. Given the vehicle's age, a chassis inspection for structural integrity and surface rust is also vital, as the MOT only checks for significant corrosion. One should also verify the brake calipers and discs to ensure no binding has developed since the last test.
