2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DL13 ADU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-07-23 at 95,860 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This aligns with the prior 2024-08-29 test at 88,753 miles, which also passed without issues. A failed test on 2024-08-21 at 88,751 miles is noted, but no defects were recorded, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor non-compliance resolved swiftly. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults in the last three tests indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no evidence of worsening conditions. The mileage progression shows consistent annual usage of approximately 7,000–7,500 miles, aligning with typical patterns for a 13-year-old vehicle. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident between tests, implying regular use and adherence to MOT schedules. The 2023-08-18 test at 81,876 miles and 2022-08-04 test at 75,321 miles also passed without defects, reinforcing a clean record. This suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to meet legal standards, though no data on non-MOT-related maintenance is available. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, given the car’s age, and inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The absence of recorded advisories on exhaust emissions or structural integrity is reassuring, but a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the absence of hidden rust or frame damage. The lack of consumable-related issues (e.g., tyres, wipers) in the MOT history implies routine checks were prioritized, though this does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase assessment.
