2013 Vauxhall Antara 2.2L Diesel · BL62 AMU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 June 2026 at 67,704 miles. While it failed a test just two days prior at a slightly lower mileage due to a structural failure of the nearside rear tyre, the immediate rectification indicates proactive ownership. Between 2021 and 2025, the vehicle maintained a perfectly clean record with no advisories, suggesting a period of consistent maintenance and mechanical stability during the last five years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, such as moving from 59,250 miles in June 2022 to 62,966 miles in June 2023. This low-frequency use typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it increases the risk of age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids, which is evidenced by the recurring tyre issues noted in the history. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the suspension geometry and alignment, given the history of uneven tyre wear. The record flags inner-edge wear in 2015 and 2019, and a structural tyre failure in 2026, which suggests potential persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Additionally, the steering rack gaiter failure in 2020 warrants a physical inspection to ensure the replacement was effective and that the steering assembly remains free of dirt ingress. Given the low mileage, checking the brake discs for corrosion and binding calipers is also advisable, as these components often seize on vehicles that sit for long periods.
