2013 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · AE13 MJY

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 February 2026 at 139,648 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed clean. The maintenance history shows no advisories or recurring mechanical faults across the examined period, indicating consistent upkeep by previous owners. Recorded mileage sits at 139,648 against a 2013 build, averaging roughly 10,742 miles per year which is typical for the age. The DVSA data shows steady annual use: 107,577 miles in February 2023, 123,977 in February 2024, 130,008 in January 2025, and 139,648 by February 2026. No standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes appear. The record is sparse on faults but clean, with only a failed entry on 20 February 2023 at 107,577 miles logged the same day as a pass and carrying no defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear MOT trail. At thirteen years old and near 140,000 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear merit hands-on checks even where testers logged nothing. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes can develop between tests and escape the annual check if superficial at the time. Given the absence of advisories across four years, prior owners likely addressed consumables promptly. Verify service history matches the mileage gaps and confirm tyre, wiper, and fluid intervals were kept outside the MOT scope.
