2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DA63 UES

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 December 2025 at 94,756 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 27 December 2024 at 91,065 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards over the past three years. Recorded mileage sits at 94,756 against a 2013 registration, equating to roughly 7,289 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the December 2023 test at 83,827 miles and the December 2024 pass at 91,065 miles shows about 7,238 miles covered in twelve months, with a further 3,691 miles to the 2025 test. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, showing only two failed attempts on the same days as subsequent passes with no defects listed, which suggests administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification. The December 2024 and December 2023 failures at 91,063 and 83,825 miles respectively carry no recorded defects, so no specific suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust faults are flagged for the buyer. Given the clean record, a pre-purchase inspection should still verify structural integrity underneath, check coil springs and suspension arms for age-related fatigue, and confirm tyre tread and brake caliper operation match the recorded low-wear profile. The absence of advisories across four passes means previous keepers maintained the Astra to a basic passing standard without neglected consumables appearing in the data. A buyer should nonetheless commission an independent mechanical check given the car is now thirteen years old, focusing on hidden rust at sills and subframes and on binding calipers that a road test would expose beyond the MOT scope.
