2013 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · MT63 ENJ

The most recent MOT on 7 August 2025 at 134,119 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle is currently road‑worthy. Earlier that same month a failure was logged for rear brake pads below the 1.5 mm minimum and both front tyres under the legal tread depth, but the subsequent test shows those items were remedied; overall the maintenance trend appears stable, with recurring consumable wear addressed promptly rather than a worsening mechanical condition. Across a 13‑year lifespan the Astra has accumulated 134,119 miles, averaging roughly 10,300 miles per year – a usage pattern that aligns with typical private‑owner mileage. The mileage progression is consistent: 86,617 miles in August 2022, 100,890 miles in August 2023, 115,608 miles in August 2024 and 134,119 miles in August 2025, each interval reflecting a steady annual increase of 14‑18 k miles with no significant gaps that would suggest prolonged storage or irregular use. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the rear brake pads and ensure all four tyres retain at least 1.6 mm tread, paying particular attention to any uneven wear that could indicate suspension mis‑alignment. The nearside rear coil spring, which fractured in the 5 August 2024 failure, warrants a visual inspection for cracks or compromised mounts, and the front brake discs should be checked for scoring or pitting that may have originated from the 22 November 2016 advisory. Finally, confirm the windscreen wipers clear effectively, the parking brake lever offers adequate travel, and that the child seat can be removed to inspect the adult seatbelt system.
