2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DX63 EXC

The overall roadworthiness status is non-roadworthy , with a persistent trend of worsening maintenance history. The vehicle has failed twice on the MOT, with the most recent failure occurring on 13 October 2025 at 102,538 miles, where an offside rear coil spring fractured. This indicates a critical structural integrity issue that has not been repaired, leaving the chassis vulnerable to further catastrophic failure. The vehicle's age of 13 years combined with the record mileage of 102,539 miles suggests that the owner has likely neglected routine maintenance, leading to accelerated wear on critical components such as suspension bushings, brake discs, and exhaust piping. The mileage pattern reveals a significant gap between the most recent test and the vehicle's age, with the vehicle failing on 13 October 2025 at 102,538 miles. This failure occurred at a mileage of 102,539 miles, indicating that the vehicle has not been serviced in over three years and that the accumulated wear on suspension and drivetrain parts has exceeded the safety margin. The lack of a clear gap between the most recent test and the vehicle's age suggests that the owner has been relying on a vehicle that is already in a state of severe deterioration, with the most recent MOT failing at a point where the vehicle would have been considered unsafe by a responsible owner. A buyer must inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes and structural failures in suspension and drivetrain components, as these recurring faults indicate a lack of basic upkeep and a risk of imminent structural collapse. The history of failing twice on the MOT and the specific failure of an offside coil spring confirms that the vehicle has not been adequately maintained, leaving the chassis exposed to potential failure. Given the age of the vehicle and the record mileage, the owner should be prepared for a potential need for immediate professional inspection to address the suspension and brake issues before the vehicle reaches the safety limit.
