2012 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · LC62 AXP

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent pass record over the last decade. The most recent test in October 2025 at 61,925 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a damaged nearside door mirror. This follows two years of clean records in 2023 and 2024 where no defects were identified, suggesting that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained in good condition during recent service intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. The data shows a steady usage pattern, moving from 20,924 miles in 2015 to the current 61,925 miles without significant spikes in accumulation. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion due to lack of use. The consistent intervals between MOT tests indicate regular operation and that the vehicle has been subjected to annual regulatory checks. A buyer should inspect the suspension and tyres, as the history shows recurring issues with wear. The offside front tyre was flagged in both 2021 and 2022, and a nearside rear tyre was noted in 2019, which may indicate a persistent alignment issue or uneven camber. Additionally, while the brake pads were noted thin in 2018, the current state of the discs and pads should be verified for pitting or thinning. Given the age and the low mileage, a physical check for structural corrosion on the underbody and exhaust system is essential, as these areas often suffer from age-related oxidation regardless of miles driven.
