2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · DS62 DVL

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy; the February 2026 MOT at 99,484 mi recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance pattern across the five most recent tests. Mileage averages roughly 7,600 mi per year for a thirteen‑year‑old Astra, which sits within normal usage bounds. Between March 2022 (84,696 mi) and February 2023 (90,464 mi) the car added 5,768 mi, then 4,882 mi to February 2024, 2,234 mi to March 2025, and only 1,904 mi to February 2026. The decreasing annual accrual suggests a recent reduction in daily running, rather than any abrupt spikes or prolonged idle periods. Although the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a prospective buyer should still examine wear‑related components. Verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, check brake pads and discs for uneven wear or glazing, and feel for any play in the front and rear suspension bushes or coil springs. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, and scan for surface rust on chassis members, especially around wheel arches and under‑carriage. A thorough visual and tactile inspection of these consumables will confirm that the vehicle’s mechanical condition aligns with the clean MOT record and that no hidden deterioration has been missed.
