2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DL13 AED

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a consistent history of passing MOT tests without recorded defects. The most recent entry on 12 February 2024 at 128,229 miles shows a clean pass with no advisories, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or worsening trends in the recorded data. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 101,971 miles in February 2020 to 128,229 miles in February 2024. This steady usage pattern suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which often leads to perished rubber components or seized calipers. The lack of significant mileage spikes between tests suggests predictable driving habits. While the MOT history is clean, the absence of advisories in recent years does not account for wear and tear that occurs between annual inspections. Given the vehicle has surpassed 128,000 miles, a physical inspection should focus on suspension components such as coil springs and control arm bushes, which often show fatigue at this mileage. The buyer should also check for surface corrosion on the underside and examine the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring. The current MOT record is nearly two years out of date relative to July 2026. This gap is a significant concern as the vehicle's current roadworthiness cannot be verified through official data. A buyer must ensure a fresh MOT is obtained and should conduct a thorough inspection of consumables, specifically tyres and wiper blades, alongside a check for any fluid leaks or exhaust emissions issues that may have developed since the last recorded test.
