2012 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DY12 AEF

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 April 2025 at 59,526 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began with the 23 February 2022 pass at 52,827 miles. No advisories or faults appear across the five entries, so the vehicle shows no worsening or recurring mechanical issues in the official record. Mileage sits low for a 2012 registration, totalling 59,526 miles or roughly 4,252 per year. The 2022 test at 52,827 miles, the 2023 pass at 55,194 miles, the 2024 pass at 56,656 miles, and the 2025 pass at 59,526 miles confirm gentle annual use of around 1,500 to 3,000 miles. A failed entry on 24 February 2023 at 55,194 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or unlogged cause rather than a mechanical fault, and the same-day pass suggests swift resolution. The sparse, clean history gives no flag for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, so the record implies basic upkeep was maintained by prior keepers. Low standing mileage can still hide perished rubber components or surface structural rust not caught in a pass, particularly around sills and subframes. A buyer should physically inspect tyre sidewall condition, brake caliper freedom after prolonged light use, and underside structural integrity for moisture-related corrosion. The absence of advisories means no specific component demands urgent attention, but a pre-purchase inspection remains sensible given the car's age.
