2013 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · ML63 DDA

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness certificate following its most recent test on February 3 2025, which passed with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable since the single failure recorded in early February 2023. Following that failure, the Astra has undergone two consecutive annual inspections without further failures or advisories, suggesting that the specific issues identified in 2023 were successfully rectified. At a recorded mileage of 138,061 miles over 13 years, the Astra averages approximately 10,620 miles per year. This usage pattern aligns with typical national averages for a petrol vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing, with a notable exception between March 2022 and February 2023 where the vehicle was tested twice within twenty-four hours. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or long periods of stagnation that would impact the drivetrain or chassis components. While the most recent records show no active faults, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components subject to high-mileage wear. Focus should be placed on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting points for corrosion, as these often degrade on Vauxhall models of this era. Given the mileage exceeds 130,000 miles, checking the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers is necessary to ensure no mechanical play has developed between the annual MOT test dates. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.
