2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.2L Diesel · FH62 CVE

The Vauxhall Astra presents a currently roadworthy status following the October 2024 test at 105,497 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available data, with no advisories or mechanical faults raised at any stage. The repeated same-day fail and pass entries in October 2023 at 102,745 and 102,746 miles, and again in October 2024 at 105,497 miles, show administrative re-tests rather than rectified faults, since no defects were listed on either attempt. Recorded mileage sat at 90,758 miles in the October 2022 test and rose to 102,746 miles by October 2023, an annual gain of roughly 12,000 miles, before creeping up only 1,751 miles to the October 2024 figure of 105,497 miles. Against a 13-year lifespan and an average of about 8,115 miles per year, the early period shows slightly heavier use, while the final year indicates the car was barely driven. The sparse record spans just three test dates and carries zero advisories throughout. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion despite the clean MOT trail. Absence of advisories on a 2013 vehicle at 105,000 miles does not confirm component health; it reflects only what the tester recorded on the day. The same-day fail and pass pattern suggests previous owners used the test lane for re-issues without documented repairs, so verify the V5C and service history in person. Check for standing-water damage or seized calipers given the low 2023 to 2024 mileage, as limited use accelerates rubber perishing and brake binding on this era of Astra.
