2013 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · AF63 FSC

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 97,809 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the supplied history, which indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies annual statutory inspection without flagged wear or corrosion. Annual mileage has tracked close to the expected norm for a 2013 hatchback. The records show 67,349 miles in August 2021, rising to 77,009 in August 2022, 84,714 in August 2023, 90,930 in August 2024, and 97,809 in August 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 9,800 miles added each year, with no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The clean sheet across every entry suggests previous owners kept on top of consumables and mechanical condition rather than deferring work until test failures forced it. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The MOT only captures condition at the test date, and components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion can develop between annual checks. At 97,809 miles and thirteen years old, rubber mounts and exhaust hangers are due for natural ageing even where the tester noted nothing. Given the sparse but clean history, focus the viewing on underside structural integrity, brake caliper operation, and tyre sidewall condition. The absence of advisories means no recurring fault pattern exists to track, yet the age alone warrants verifying that earlier owners addressed routine servicing outside the MOT scope.
