2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FN13 BVX

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 28 October 2025 at 133,024 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five available annual tests from 2021 to 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure, indicating consistent upkeep and no worsening mechanical condition over time. The mileage pattern aligns with typical use for a 2013 registered car. The record shows 105,181 miles at the 25 October 2021 test, rising to 106,965 miles by 24 October 2022, then 110,761 miles on 26 September 2023, 115,355 miles on 30 October 2024, and 133,024 miles by October 2025. Annual accumulation stayed near 4,000 to 5,000 miles for three years before jumping roughly 17,700 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, suggesting heavier use in the final year. The clean history with no flagged corrosion, suspension wear, or brake defects points to an owner who addressed consumables before each test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car is now 13 years old and has exceeded 130,000 miles. Although no MOT advisory flagged worn suspension bushes, degraded coil springs, or binding calipers, these components accumulate fatigue with age and the DVSA test only samples condition on the day. Verify the service history matches the recorded mileages and confirm tyre tread depth, brake disc thickness, and exhaust emissions during a pre-purchase check. The absence of past faults is reassuring, but high mileage in the last twelve months warrants scrutiny of drivetrain and clutch wear not captured by MOT data.
