2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · LO62 OMW

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a remarkably clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2025 at 79,671 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, mirroring the results of the previous tests. This consistent trend of clean passes over the last five years suggests that the current owner has proactively addressed potential mechanical issues without allowing minor faults to escalate into advisories or MOT failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-maintained but lightly driven vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per annum. Between October 2021 and October 2022, the car covered only 1,476 miles, indicating a period of lower usage. Since then, the mileage has increased steadily, covering roughly 20,000 miles over the following three years up to the December 2025 test. This relatively low annual mileage generally reduces the mechanical stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. While the MOT record shows no historical advisories or failures, an in-person inspection should focus on age-related degradation that a stationary test might not capture. A buyer should check for early-stage corrosion on the underbody and exhaust system, which is common for Vauxalls of this era regardless of mileage. Given the low usage, it is also vital to inspect rubber components such as suspension bushes, tyres, and coil springs for signs of cracking or perish rot from time-standing. Checking the brake discs for pitting is also advisable if the vehicle has sat during the recorded periods of lower use.
