2012 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · FIW 3397

The vehicle presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, passing every MOT since 2021 without a single defect. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 125,047 miles recorded zero advisories or failures, indicating a well-maintained unit free of immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The annual mileage accumulation sits at approximately 8,932 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. Looking at the chronological data, the distance covered between tests remains consistent: 7,937 miles between October 2021 and September 2022, 7,350 miles between 2022 and 2023, 7,632 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 4,352 miles between 2024 and 2025. The reduced mileage in the most recent year suggests lighter recent use or shorter commuting distances, rather than any prolonged period of inactivity. Given the complete absence of advisories or failures across the recorded history, there are no recurring mechanical faults to flag. However, a physical inspection remains prudent for a 14-year-old vehicle. A buyer should inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related deterioration, check the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding that might not yet constitute a test failure, and examine the exhaust system for leaks. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition also warrant close scrutiny, as uneven wear could indicate underlying tracking or suspension geometry issues.
