2013 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · CX13 PKY

The Vauxhall Astra presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 23 October 2024 at 179,195 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable in outcome, though the test sequence shows administrative or presentation anomalies rather than progressive mechanical decline. The vehicle cleared its annual examination twelve months prior on 19 October 2023 at 161,070 miles, also with a clean sheet. Mileage stands at 179,195 against a 2013 build, equating to roughly 13,784 miles per year and placing this Astra in the high-use bracket for its age. The record captures 18,125 miles added between the October 2023 and October 2024 tests, a steady annual rate with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. Documentation is sparse: only two years of entries exist, and both years show a failed attempt logged on the same date as a pass or one day prior, with no defects cited in any entry. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the mileage and thirteen-year age, as high annual use accelerates consumable and structural wear even where testers logged nothing. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pairs in October 2024 and the dual 19 October 2023 entries suggest clerical re-tests or system retries rather than resolved faults, so verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed advisories exist. Previous keepers ran the car hard but kept it test-compliant at each presented examination. With no corrosion, emissions, or mechanical advisories on file, the risk profile is moderate for the mileage, centred on unseen wear to drivetrain mounts and subframe integrity rather than recorded defect trends.
