2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FN13 BNJ

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing with no defects recorded at 90,455 miles on 14 May 2025. The maintenance trend is stable, with the three most recent annual tests showing clean passes once minor administrative failures were cleared. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the 2023 to 2025 record, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening defect cycle. The mileage pattern sits at typical use for a 2013 car, averaging roughly 6,958 miles per year. The odometer moved from 81,741 miles at the June 2023 test to 86,253 miles in May 2024, then to 90,455 miles by May 2025. That is about 4,500 miles between each test, confirming light annual use with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, showing no consumable wear items or structural issues logged at any stage. The repeated failures on 16 May 2024 and 14 May 2025 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes suggest paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection, since no defects were recorded. A buyer should still confirm in person that the V5C and test documentation match, as the dual entries imply an administrative retry rather than a rectified fault. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions problems, the Astra shows no recorded structural or mechanical risk in the official history. A pre-purchase inspection should nonetheless check underside structural integrity and tyre condition, as these areas fall outside MOT advisories when the tester logs no defects.
