2012 VAUXHALL ASTRA SE CDTI S/S2.0L Diesel

The vehicle has maintained consistent roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent September 2025 inspection at 162,790 miles. All tests from 2020 to 2025 show passing results with no structural, braking, or emissions issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the owner prioritized regular servicing, though the lack of detailed fault records limits insight into minor wear patterns. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging 11,628 miles annually. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a 15-month interval between the 2022 test (131,817 miles) and the 2023 test (144,251 miles), which could indicate periods of reduced usage or delayed inspections. The 2020 test at 98,987 miles marked the first recorded milestone, with subsequent checks showing gradual, predictable mileage increases. No rapid accumulation or irregularities suggest consistent, moderate driving conditions. While the MOT records show no critical faults, a buyer should verify suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which may degrade over 162,790 miles. The exhaust system and brake discs should also be inspected for corrosion or thinning, as these are common wear points in older diesel vehicles. Steering linkages and wheel bearings warrant scrutiny, as minor issues may not trigger MOT failures but could affect long-term reliability. The absence of tyre-related advisories implies adequate tread maintenance, but a physical check is recommended to confirm condition.
