2013 Vauxhall Antara 2.2L Diesel · JP53 WGS

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a clean pass on 25 September 2025 at 79,476 miles. This recent result indicates a stable mechanical state, especially given the absence of any recorded advisories or defects during the last three consecutive tests. The pattern of immediate re-tests following initial failures in September 2024 and September 2025 suggests that the vehicle likely encountered minor administrative or equipment-related hurdles rather than significant mechanical failures, as the records show no specific component faults during those brief intervals. The recorded mileage of 79,476 over thirteen years equates to an annual average of approximately 6,100 miles, which is well within the expected range for a vehicle of this type. The history shows consistent usage patterns, with a notable increase in activity between February 2024 and September 2024, where the vehicle covered roughly 2,400 miles in seven months. This steady accumulation of distance suggests the car has been kept in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which generally benefits the longevity of seals, gaskets, and battery health. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the common failure points for the Vauxhall Antara platform, specifically the suspension bushes and the integrity of the rear subframe, as these are frequent sources of MOT failure in older examples. While the recent history is clean, the absence of recorded advisories does not preclude hidden wear in the drivetrain or steering rack. Prioritise checking for any signs of uneven tyre wear or fluid leaks under the engine bay, as these issues often precede the formal advisories that appear on the DVSA record. A thorough test drive should confirm smooth gear changes and an absence of unusual noises from the suspension over uneven road surfaces.
