2013 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · DL13 OUF

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 January 2026 at 96,381 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 21 January 2025 at 91,491 miles also showed a clean sheet. The two failed tests in January 2024 and January 2025 were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle carries no outstanding advisories and shows no worsening pattern across its history. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2013 car, averaging roughly 7,400 miles per year against the 96,381 miles recorded. The gap between the 18 January 2024 test at 88,166 miles and the 21 January 2025 test at 91,491 miles reflects about 3,300 miles covered that year, consistent with light use. The near-identical mileages at the 16 January 2025 failure (91,490) and 21 January 2025 pass (91,491) confirm the retest occurred days later with negligible running. Sparse but clean records give little cause for concern on wear accumulation. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's thirteen years in service. The absence of recorded advisories means corrosion, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity were not flagged, yet MOT cleanliness at low annual mileage can mask standing-time degradation such as perished rubbers or surface rust. Verify the two zero-defect failures were clerical and not掩盖 of withdrawn tests. Given the history shows no recurring mechanical faults, focus the viewing on tyre condition, wiper blades, and underbody check for moisture-related wear. The previous owner appears to have kept basic upkeep current, with the car passing every valid annual test after the two anomalous January failures.
