2012 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · FL62 LUD

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 8 November 2025 at 109,093 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly on 16 October 2024 at 102,952 miles and again on 20 October 2023 at 96,031 miles. The history shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the examined period, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2012 vehicle, averaging roughly 7,792 miles per year against the recorded 109,093 miles. The test on 16 October 2024 at 102,952 miles followed the prior year's 20 October 2023 test at 96,031 miles, reflecting an annual increase of about 6,921 miles. The record is sparse but clean, with no gaps exceeding twelve months and no rapid accumulation suggesting abnormal drivetrain or suspension loading. Two failed tests appear in the data, on 15 October 2024 at 102,952 miles and 19 October 2023 at 96,030 miles, yet both list no defects and were immediately followed by passes one day later at near-identical mileages. This pattern points to administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical failure. The previous owner maintained valid certification without lapse. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust emissions given the car's fourteen-year age. The MOT record shows no corrosion or binding calipers, but annual testing does not cover hidden rust or intermittent electrical faults. Verify service history independently before purchase.
