2012 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · SC12 WPZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 87,496 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately prior to the re-test. The lack of advisories across the previous tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard during its current tenure. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-to-mid-range use, averaging approximately 6,250 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 67,372 miles and July 2025 at 87,496 miles, the car covered 20,124 miles, showing steady accumulation. This low mileage reduces the strain on drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples, though the age of the vehicle means that rubber components and fluids may be subject to time-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. Because the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical or structural failures, a physical inspection should focus on the common weak points for an Astra of this era. A buyer should check the rear wheel arches and sills for early structural corrosion, as these areas often develop before they trigger an MOT failure. Given the low mileage, verify the condition of the suspension bushes for cracking and ensure the brake calipers are not seizing due to periods of inactivity, despite the clean test history.
