2012 Vauxhall Astravan 1.7L Diesel · FL12 WGP

The Vauxhall Astravan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 132,418 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the prior four years. Annual mileage sits at a typical 9,458 miles for a 2012 vehicle, with the record showing consistent accumulation rather than sudden spikes. The tester logged 93,105 miles in August 2021, rising to 103,593 by August 2022, 113,581 in August 2023, 123,089 in October 2024, and 132,418 in October 2025. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests stretched to fourteen months, yet no faults emerged. A clean five-year MOT run with zero advisories implies the previous keeper addressed wear proactively, though the absence of flagged items means latent issues such as corroding suspension bushes or fatigued coil springs were either absent or below test thresholds. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs, calipers, and underbody structural integrity given the van's fourteen-year age and 132,418 miles. The MOT record shows no recurring mechanical faults, so attention should fall on consumable items the test does not routinely fail: tyre sidewall condition, wiper blade wear, and exhaust emissions under load. Given five consecutive passes with no advisories, the Astravan's documented history reflects disciplined upkeep. The lack of recorded defects does not exempt the buyer from verifying real-world suspension articulation and drivetrain noise, but the DVSA data supports a sound roadworthiness verdict.
