2012 Vauxhall Antara 2.0L Diesel · CY12 ADX

The Vauxhall Antara presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 December 2025 at 89,360 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in January 2025 and December 2023 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 21 December 2023 at 76,544 miles is anomalous as the record shows no defects listed and the vehicle passed on the same date, indicating an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. At roughly 14 years old the Antara shows 89,360 recorded miles, equating to about 6,383 miles per year which is typical for the age. Mileage advanced from 70,535 in January 2023 to 76,544 by December 2023, then to 83,243 in January 2025 and 89,360 by December 2025, a consistent low annual accumulation with no gaps or sudden spikes. The clean record across all tests suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits, though the sparse five-entry history limits deeper trend analysis. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the absence of any advisory data to confirm wear state. The lack of corrosion or exhaust emission flags in the record is reassuring, but fourteen years of service can hide latent structural rust beneath sills and subframes not visible without ramp access. Given the clean MOT trajectory and ordinary mileage, the Antara reads as a lightly used example with no recorded mechanical red flags. Verify service history and inspect underbody condition before purchase to confirm the test record reflects genuine upkeep.
