2013 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · LD63 CFN

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT test on 10 December 2025 at 91,284 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. In both December 2023 and December 2025, the Astra failed the initial test but secured a pass within five days. This suggests that minor defects are identified and rectified promptly by the owner rather than being indicative of chronic mechanical neglect. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The car progressed from 76,014 miles in December 2023 to 84,152 miles in November 2024, and reached 91,284 miles by late December 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and gaskets, though age-related degradation of rubber components and suspension bushings remains a factor despite the moderate mileage. While the record shows no outstanding defects, the recurring failures at the start of testing indicate that certain items are frequently on the margin of legal limits. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for wear in bushes and check for binding calipers, as these are common areas for minor MOT failures. Given the vehicle's age, a close inspection for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans is necessary to ensure that hidden rust is not developing beneath the clean digital record.
