2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · FH62 BVY

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following a pass on 23 February 2026 at 122,212 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. The vehicle cleared its three most recent annual tests without advisories, and the only blemish is an administrative fail on the same day as the February 2026 pass, logged at 122,208 miles with no defects cited, indicating a paperwork or data-entry rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A similar pattern occurred on 27 February 2025, where a no-defect fail at 113,710 miles preceded a clean pass the same day. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a 2013 car. The odometer moved from 105,595 miles at the 27 February 2024 test to 113,710 miles by February 2025, then to 122,212 miles by February 2026. That equates to roughly 8,100 to 8,500 miles per year across the recorded period, close to the 9,401-mile annual average for the vehicle's age. The DVSA history is sparse, showing only three years of entries with clean sheets throughout, so no wear trends or recurring consumable failures are visible in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT run. The absence of advisories does not confirm the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or subframe corrosion at 122,000 miles. Vauxhall Astras of this era are prone to rear axle beam rust and degraded anti-roll bar linkages that testers may miss until structurally significant. Given the same-day fail-and-pass entries in both 2025 and 2026, verify the V5C and test certificate details match exactly. The prior owner likely addressed any minor issues promptly, but the lack of recorded defects offers no insight into tyre depth, wiper condition, or emissions margin at the last test.
