2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DX63 KSO

This vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 11 October 2025 at 98,485 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage data reveals a significant discrepancy that requires scrutiny. The vehicle recorded 123,796 miles in October 2021 and 132,295 miles in October 2022. However, the mileage dropped to 87,072 miles by the October 2023 test and continued at a lower trajectory to 98,485 miles by October 2025. This represents a recorded reduction of over 30,000 miles between 2022 and 2023, which is physically impossible. This suggests either a significant odometer failure, a replacement instrument cluster, or a clerical error during the 2021 and 2022 inspections. A buyer must investigate the cause of this mileage irregularity to determine the true wear on the drivetrain and suspension. While the MOT records show no flagged faults for brake discs, suspension bushes, or structural corrosion, the lack of any advisories over five years is unusual for a thirteen year old Astra. You should specifically inspect the chassis for hidden corrosion and check the service history for evidence of a gearbox or engine replacement that might explain the mileage shift. Verify the current state of all consumables, including tyre tread and brake pad thickness, as the clean MOT records do not guarantee these have been replaced recently. Focus your physical inspection on the underside of the vehicle to ensure no structural rust has been overlooked, as this is a common failure point for this model that often appears suddenly after years of clean reports.
