2013 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · DA13 WHH

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 October 2025 at 83,390 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry, which indicates the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test scope over the past three years. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2013 car. The record shows 66,871 miles at the 3 October 2022 test, rising to 72,449 by 9 October 2023, 77,830 by 4 October 2024, and 83,390 by 7 October 2025. That equates to roughly 5,500 miles per year, slightly below the 6,415 average implied by the odometer, and the increments are evenly spaced with no sudden accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA log is sparse but clean, with only a duplicated 3 October 2022 entry showing both a fail and pass at identical mileage and no defects cited, likely an administrative anomaly rather than a genuine fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear MOT trail. The absence of advisories means worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or fatigued coil springs were not flagged, yet testers often miss early-stage structural rust on sills and arches. Check brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as binding or uneven wear leaves no MOT trace until defective. Given the low yearly use, inspect for perishing rubber components and flat-spotted tyres from prolonged standing. The owner maintained statutory testing punctually each October, suggesting disciplined basic upkeep rather than deferred service. Verify service history to confirm fluid changes and timing belt interval on this 13-year-old unit.
