2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · LB62 FEG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-18 at 82,509 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Prior tests in 2024-10-16 (80,278 miles) and 2023-09-30 (75,037 miles) also passed, though a failed test on 2024-10-14 (same mileage) suggests a potential unresolved issue. The absence of defects in subsequent checks implies corrective action was taken, but the repeated testing within a short timeframe raises questions about consistency in upkeep. Mileage progression shows regular servicing, with intervals of 8–11 months between tests, aligning with the vehicle’s 6,347-mile annual average. The 2022-10-15 test at 71,754 miles and 2023-09-30 test at 75,037 miles reveal steady accumulation, avoiding prolonged inactivity. However, the 2024-10-14 failure at 80,278 miles—matched by a subsequent pass—hints at transient issues, possibly related to minor components like exhaust emissions or lighting. The record lacks detailed defect descriptions, limiting deeper analysis. Buyers should prioritize inspecting suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the car’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny, as recurring tests may mask gradual wear. Corrosion in body panels and underbody components should also be checked, as structural integrity can degrade over 13 years. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the 2024-10-14 failure underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm ongoing reliability.
