2012 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · FL62 WUB

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 9 February 2026 at 69,936 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history. Each annual test returned a clean result on the pass, though two of those dates also show a failed attempt logged at identical or near-identical mileage with no defects cited, indicating administrative or presentation anomalies rather than mechanical faults. The recorded mileage sits at 69,936 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 4,995 miles per year. That is low for the age. The DVSA data shows 57,219 miles on 14 February 2024, 62,026 at the failed and 62,029 at the passed test on 5 February 2025, then 69,936 on 9 February 2026. Annual accumulation ran between 4,810 and 7,907 miles, with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The record is sparse and clean, carrying no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as the MOT history records no corrosion assessment detail despite the vehicle's fourteen years. The absence of advisories on binding calipers or worn tyres across three tests suggests previous keepers addressed consumables before each test. Verify the twin failed entries on 5 February 2025 and 9 February 2026 reflect no concealed rectification, given the zero-defect listings on both fail and pass. Given the low yearly use, check for deterioration from standing such as perished rubber mounts, flat-spotted tyres, and seized handbrake mechanisms. The clean record offers no evidence of worsening mechanical risk, but the sparse data means in-person checks on drivetrain leaks and suspension articulation remain prudent before purchase.
