2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · FH62 HZC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding neglected wheel geometry and consumable components. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 122,174 miles passed, the tester flagged both front tyres as wearing on inner edges. This follows a pattern of uneven wear observed in previous years, suggesting that the owner has focused on passing the MOT rather than addressing the underlying mechanical causes of tyre degradation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression of roughly 13,000 miles between the July 2023 and July 2024 tests, and another 12,376 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. This regular usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods ofກັບ, though the high total mileage places significant strain on the Vauxhall suspension assembly, steering rack, and drivetrain components. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension and steering de-wheel alignment. The recurring inner wear on both front and rear tyres across 2023, 2024, and 2025 strongly points to worn wish arm bushes, ball joints, or faulty tie rod ends. The braking system also requires attention, given that the 2023 test noted thin rear brake pads which should have been monitored or replaced to prevent disc scoring. Check for structural corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting points, as these are common failure points for this Astra generation at this mileage bracket.
