2013 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · DA63 BLF

The Vauxhall Astra shows a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 19 December 2022 at 175,846 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the prior clean pass from 20 December 2021 at 163,685 miles. Two consecutive annual tests with zero advisories indicate the vehicle met minimum statutory standards across that period, with no worsening mechanical trend visible in the official record. The odometer sat at 163,685 miles in December 2021 and rose to 175,846 miles by December 2022, a gain of 12,161 miles over twelve months. That annual rate sits below the lifetime average of roughly 13,527 miles per year, so accumulation has been steady rather than aggressive. The record covers only two years and shows no earlier entries, which limits any long-term wear assessment, though the clean results suggest basic statutory upkeep was maintained during this window. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The absence of advisories does not confirm the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural subframes, all of which degrade silently on a 13-year-old car at this mileage. High cumulative mileage raises the risk of worn drivetrain mounts and corroded underbody sections not captured by a pass result. Given the 19 December 2022 test is over three years old as of July 2026, the vehicle has since run without a recorded MOT. The next owner must verify a current valid test and physically check tyre tread, exhaust emissions, and binding calipers, since the last official evidence predates recent wear entirely.
