2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FJ13 UCD

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy on the most recent evidence, with a clean pass recorded on 16 January 2025 at 216,330 miles and no defects listed. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A failed test on 16 January 2024 at 201,520 miles shows no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a pass on the same date and mileage. Mileage stands high for a 2013 vehicle, reaching 216,330 miles by January 2025, an average of roughly 16,600 miles per year. The record jumps from 185,739 miles in September 2021 to 190,860 miles in September 2022, then to 201,520 by January 2024, indicating steady annual use rather than sudden accumulation. A gap exists between September 2022 and the January 2024 entries, roughly sixteen months, though the pass results imply the vehicle stayed in use without lapsing cover. The sparse MOT data gives no recurring faults to track, so the buyer should not assume hidden issues from the record alone. Given the age and 216,330 miles, in-person checks should target suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, and structural corrosion underneath the sills and subframes. The clean history implies previous owners kept basic test standards met, but high mileage means drivetrain and consumable items like tyres or wiper blades may need replacement sooner than on a lower-mileage example.
