2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · DA12 GYA

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 September 2025 at 114,288 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2023 to 2024 also show clean sheets. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA record, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening or recurring-defect cycle. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,800 miles, in line with typical use for a 2013 car. The records show steady accumulation: 99,646 miles in September 2022, 105,424 in September 2023, 111,372 in September 2024, and 114,288 in September 2025. The only anomaly is a failed test on 23 September 2024 at 111,369 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass at 111,372 miles the same day, which points to an administrative or data-entry error rather than a mechanical concern. The clean history across all dates suggests previous owners kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current. Given the absence of flagged items, a buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of common high-age Vauxhall weak points not captured by a pass-with-no-defects result. Suspension bushes, front coil springs, and subframe corrosion warrant close visual checks, as does exhaust integrity and brake disc wear at the current 114,288-mile mark. No recurring faults or structural risks emerge from the MOT data to justify price reduction on mechanical grounds. The record implies disciplined ownership, though in-person verification of tyre condition and underbody rust remains prudent before purchase.
