2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.2L Diesel · FE13 NWD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clean inspection history following a minor mechanical failure. The most recent test in December 2025 at 109,126 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, marking three consecutive years of clean results since 2022. This trend suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing immediate requirements and the mechanical condition appears improving over time. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's thirteen-year age, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. Between December 2023 and December 2025, the Astra covered 15,126 miles, indicating a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation or sudden heavy-duty use. The annual testing interval remains appropriate for a car of this age, as it ensures that rubber components and braking systems are regularly inspected for the hidden degradations often associated with low-mileage, older vehicles. The failure recorded in December 2022 at 89,452 miles was limited to consumable items, specifically an exposed cord offside front tyre, a worn nearside rear tyre, and a failed position lamp. Since these issues were rectified, the subsequent three passes show no recurring structural corrosion, brake binding, or suspension failures. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, and check the arches for surface rust, as these are common points of wear on this Astra generation as they exceed the 100,000-mile mark.
