2013 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · DS63 AWG

The vehicle presents a stable and commendable maintenance record, having successfully passed its most recent MOT on 18 October 2025 at 80,485 miles with zero recorded defects. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of compliance over the last four years, suggesting the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard. The absence of advisories during this period indicates that critical components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and structural elements are currently performing within expected tolerances. The recorded mileage of 80,485 over a thirteen-year lifespan averages approximately 6,191 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a Vauxhall Astra of this vintage. The test history shows a steady, predictable accumulation of miles, with the vehicle covering roughly 4,000 to 9,000 miles between annual inspections. The brief anomaly on 7 October 2022, where the vehicle failed and subsequently passed on the same day, suggests a minor administrative error or an immediate rectification of a trivial issue, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the long-term health of the chassis and drivetrain, as the MOT record provides little insight into hidden wear. While the recent tests show no signs of corrosion or structural degradation, you should inspect the underside for surface rust on the sills and subframe, which can often develop on vehicles of this age. Check the condition of the tyres and the bite point of the clutch, as these high-wear items are not always flagged during a standard test. Given the clean history, the car appears to be a well-cared-for example, provided the service history confirms regular oil changes and timing belt replacements in line with the manufacturer schedule.
