2012 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DS12 AAV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in May 2025 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2024 and 2025. This suggests that while issues are identified during testing, they are being addressed prior to the retest, indicating a proactive approach to maintaining the car to legal standards. The' pattern is consistent with the vehicle's 14-year age, averaging approximately 8,673 miles per year. There was a notable accumulation of roughly 6,500 miles between April 2023 and May 2024, followed by nearly 9,800 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This regular usage suggests the car has been driven consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though it necessitates standard age-related maintenance. While the recent records are clean of advisories, a buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the areas prone to wear on this specific model. Given the 121,421-mile reading, close attention should be paid to the suspension components, specifically bushes and shock absorbers, which often degrade at this mileage. The buyer should also check for emerging structural rust on the sills and brake lines, as the MOT history does not always capture surface corrosion until it becomes a failure point.
