2013 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · CV13 YCM

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 August 2025 at 100,867 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The sole blemish is a failed entry logged on 1 October 2024 at 96,269 miles carrying no recorded defects, immediately followed the same day by a pass at identical mileage, which points to an administrative or process anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,759 miles for a 2013 vehicle now showing 100,867 miles. The records show steady accumulation: 84,620 miles on 23 September 2022, 91,768 on 5 October 2023, 96,269 on 1 October 2024, and 100,867 on 20 August 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean slate across five years suggests the previous keeper kept on top of consumables and avoided letting advisories lapse into failures. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and century-mileage status. The MOT history flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions issues, or structural integrity concerns, so serious mechanical risk looks low on paper. Verify the 1 October 2024 fail-pass pair with DVSA to confirm it was clerical, not a suppressed defect. Given the absence of recorded advisories, previous ownership appears disciplined about routine upkeep. The Astra warrants a standard pre-purchase check but shows no data-driven red flags for a used-car buyer at this mileage.
