2012 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · CE12 OKA

This Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 7 April 2025 at 86,513 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,180 miles per year. The distance covered between the April 2023 test at 76,712 miles and the April 2025 test at 86,513 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 9,800 miles per annum over the last two years. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. The absence of advisories across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age. While the record is clean, a buyer should still physically inspect the chassis and suspension components for corrosion, as MOT testers do not always flag early-stage surface rust that has not yet compromised structural integrity. Check the condition of the brake discs and tyres to ensure they have not been pushed to the legal limit before the last test. Verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and filters have been changed regularly. The MOT record confirms the car is legally roadworthy, but it does not provide data on internal engine health or gearbox fluid condition. A physical check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is recommended to confirm no wear has developed since the April 2025 inspection.
