2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · AF13 DSV

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 January 2026 at 105,095 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior three annual tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 24 January 2025 at 93,202 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating a administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven stop, and the vehicle passed again the same day. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a 2013 car, averaging roughly 8,084 miles per year against the 105,095 miles now shown. The records show steady yearly use: 70,770 miles in January 2023, 81,454 in January 2024, 93,202 in January 2025, and 105,095 in January 2026. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the ~12,000-mile yearly increments suggest consistent private or light commercial use with no prolonged standing. The DVSA history flags no advisories across the five years, so no recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion has been formally noted. A clean sheet implies previous owners kept the car to test standard, though MOT pass-with-no-advisories does not confirm component life remaining. A buyer should still inspect in person for age-related structural rust on sills and subframes, check tyre tread and brake caliper condition, and verify service history. The absence of recorded faults is reassuring, but at 13 years and 105k miles, consumables such as dampers and exhaust hangers warrant a hands-on check before purchase.
