VAUXHALL ASTRA2013 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted on 21 February 2026 at 119,613 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and environmental standards. This follows a trend of clean passes in the preceding years, suggesting that the previous owners have addressed necessary mechanical issues before they resulted in long-term failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per annum. Between January 2023 and February 2026, the Astra covered 27,174 miles, showing a steady usage rate rather than long periods of inactivity. The single failure recorded on 10 January 2024 at 100,598 miles, followed by a pass just nine miles later at 100,607 miles, indicates a minor rectifyable fault, likely a bulb replacement or a minor component adjustment, which was corrected immediately before the re-test. Despite the lack of advisories in the recent records, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to wear at this 120,000-mile threshold. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber, as these often degrade on Astras of this age. Given the mileage, checking the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding conditions is also prudent, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency and not the overall condition of the hardware.
