2012 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DA12 UDL

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 July 2025 at 115,285 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from July 2022 to July 2024 also passed clean. The vehicle shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the visible history. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a 2012 car. The record shows 89,767 miles in July 2022, rising to 97,330 by July 2023, 105,461 by July 2024, and 115,285 by July 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year, consistent with the 8,235 annual average for its age. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with no advisories logged on any pass. One anomaly appears on 29 July 2022, where the tester issued both a fail and a pass at the identical mileage of 89,767 with no defects recorded. This suggests an administrative or data-entry irregularity rather than a mechanical fault, but the buyer should confirm with the selling garage that no concealed rejection occurred that day. Given the absence of flagged wear on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion, the buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust before purchase. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet at 115,285 miles consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions components warrant a visual check for age-related degradation not captured by the MOT.
