2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FG63 USN

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 151,823 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged at any stage. The only anomaly is administrative rather than mechanical: the car failed twice on paperwork grounds within days of later passes, first on 10 February 2025 at 140,639 miles and again on 11 February 2026 at 151,820 miles, before immediate clean passes. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,679 miles per year against the car's 2013 build, a typical figure for a 13-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 133,847 miles in February 2024, 140,639 miles in February 2025, and 151,823 miles by February 2026. No gap or sudden spike appears. The sparse three-year trail with zero defects suggests either light-use conditions or consistent basic upkeep, though the absence of advisories means wear items were either within limits or simply not flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage, as high-consumption components at 151,823 miles may wear without triggering MOT failure. The repeated fail-pass cycles on identical mileages point to documentation issues at the testing station rather than owner neglect, yet the clean sheets offer no evidence of prior structural corrosion or binding calipers. Given the car cleared its last test only months before today's date, the MOT evidence alone supports a sound purchase subject to a routine pre-sale check of tyres, exhaust emissions, and underbody integrity.
