2012 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · NU12 ABF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 19 February 2026, confirming its roadworthiness status is up to date. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has successfully cleared its annual inspections for the past three years without any recorded defects or advisories. While the vehicle failed its initial presentation in both 2025 and 2026, these failures occurred just days before the final pass, suggesting the owner likely addressed minor administrative or preparation issues rather than significant mechanical failures. At 92,948 miles over fourteen years, the vehicle averages approximately 6,600 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical light to moderate usage. The mileage accumulation remains steady, with roughly 7,700 miles added between the 2024 and 2025 tests and 6,500 miles between 2025 and 2026. This consistent usage pattern indicates the car has not been subjected to long periods of inactivity, which often leads to seized components or premature degradation of rubber seals and hoses. Despite the clean MOT history, prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines. The absence of advisories in recent years does not guarantee the condition of these consumable parts, as testers only flag items that have reached the threshold of failure. You should specifically check the inner edges of the tyres for uneven wear and inspect the exhaust system for signs of corrosion or blowing joints. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the condition of the undercarriage for structural corrosion remains a priority to ensure the long-term integrity of the chassis.
