2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · DN13 VDJ

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 121,600 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with every annual examination from August 2022 through to the latest test returning a clean result aside from a single anomalous failure. The vehicle's recorded condition suggests consistent upkeep by prior keepers, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged at any stage. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2013 vehicle, averaging roughly 9,354 miles per year against the 121,600 miles recorded. The August 2022 test at 90,235 miles and the October 2023 test at 94,173 miles show low annual use of under 4,000 miles in that period. A sharper rise followed, reaching 103,566 miles by October 2024 and 121,600 miles by October 2025, an increase of about 18,000 miles in twelve months. The sparse five-entry record limits deeper trend analysis, though no gaps exceed standard annual intervals. The buyer should note the failed test dated 13 October 2025 at 122,163 miles, recorded with no defects listed yet marked as a failure. This suggests an administrative or unlogged technical rejection rather than a flagged mechanical fault. Given the clean pass ten days later at a lower mileage of 121,600, the recorded figures imply a clerical correction or mileage rollback rather than wear-related failure. In person, the buyer should verify the true odometer reading and request the V5C to reconcile the conflicting October 2025 entries. Beyond that anomaly, the history shows no corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission issues across the timeline. A standard pre-purchase inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers remains prudent given the car's thirteen-year age and higher recent annual mileage.
