2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DS13 FTF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean testing record over the last five years. The most recent MOT conducted on 10 August 2022 at 89,245 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating the car was in good mechanical condition at that time. While a minor failure occurred in early August 2021, the immediate pass just two miles later suggests the owner was proactive in addressing identified faults. The mileage pattern is consistent with low annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,865 miles per year. Between the 2019 test at 76,577 miles and the 2022 test at 89,245 miles, the car covered a steady 12,668 miles. This low mileage typically reduces the wear on drivetrain components and braking systems compared to high-mileage vehicles, though since the last recorded test was nearly four years ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for an MOT, and the current state of its mechanical components cannot be verified. Given the lack of recorded structural or recurring brake issues in the history, a physical inspection should focus on common failure points for the Astra model that manifest over time rather than mileage. Check specifically for corrosion on the rear subframe and the integrity of the suspension bushes and arms. Because the car has not been tested recently since 2022, the buyer must also inspect for degradation of rubber components and any signs of fluid leaks, which can occur during periods of lower use or age.
