2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · NG62 AVL

The 2013 Vauxhall Astra is currently rated roadworthy, but the recent MOT record indicates a deteriorating maintenance trend. The vehicle failed on 2026-03-26 at 69,600 miles, failing again on 2025-03-20 at 66,599 miles, and failing once more on 2024-03-21 at 63,921 miles. This three-month gap between the most recent failure and the first failure suggests the vehicle has not been properly maintained since the 2026 test, likely due to a lack of regular servicing or a failure to address the first defect. The mileage accumulation is inconsistent with age. The car began around 2013 with roughly 69,600 miles, yet it has experienced three separate MOT failures within a span of just three months. This rapid progression indicates that the vehicle has not been kept in good mechanical condition despite its low mileage relative to its age, or that the owner has been skipping routine checks. A vehicle of this age and this mileage should have a MOT every three to six months to catch wear before it becomes critical. Given the three consecutive failures, the vehicle exhibits a clear pattern of structural and mechanical risks. The most recent failure on 2026-03-26 at 69,600 miles was not followed by a successful completion of the test, indicating that the mechanical systems have degraded. The first failure on 2025-03-20 at 66,599 miles and the second on 2024-03-21 at 63,921 miles confirm that the vehicle has not been maintained in accordance with its age. Buyers must inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, and brake discs for binding or corrosion, as well as check the exhaust emissions and structural integrity of the chassis and bodywork, as these components are likely to fail under the current wear pattern.
