2012 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · FG62 NOF

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 10 November 2025 at 96,482 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The November 2025 test came only four days after a failure on 6 November 2025 at identical mileage, yet both entries show no defects recorded, indicating the failure was administrative rather than mechanical. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 30 September 2023 at 81,981 miles and again on 7 September 2024 at 88,484 miles, the latter following a same-day failure on 7 September 2024 at 88,480 miles with no defects logged. The odometer reflects roughly 6,892 miles per year against the car's 2012 build date, a typical accumulation for a 14-year-old vehicle. Mileage moved from 81,981 in September 2023 to 88,484 by September 2024, then to 96,482 by November 2025, showing consistent annual use of around 6,500 to 8,000 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant periods. The DVSA record is sparse and clean, carrying no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the Astra's age and the absence of any advisory data in the record. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pairs in September 2024 and November 2025 suggest clerical or documentation issues at the testing station rather than owner neglect of consumables such as tyres or wiper blades. Verify the V5C and test certificates to confirm those failures were not掩盖 of latent faults later cleared without repair.
