2013 Vauxhall Astra Exclusiv Cdti Ecoflx S/S 1.7L Diesel · DN62 JVM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record over the last two years. The most recent inspection on 19 May 2025 at 124,114 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that any previous mechanical issues have been addressed. While a failure occurred in May 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent clean passes in the following year suggest the current owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle to meet DVSA safety standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 112,691 miles and May 2025 at 124,114 miles, the car covered roughly 11,400 miles, showing steady usage rather than long periods of stagnation which can lead to seal failure or corrosion. The interval of 1,130 miles recorded between the May 2024 and May 2025 tests shows consistent driving habits, which generally helps in maintaining mechanical components between service intervals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components components prone to wear on a high-mileage diesel engine and suspension geometry. Despite the clean MOT history, the age warrants a close check of rubber components in the suspension arms and control arm bushes, which often perish at this stage. Given the 124,000-mile mark, verifying the condition of the brake discs and checking for signs of binding calipers is also essential, as these items do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical point of wear.
