2012 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · SD12 JYN

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT record over the last five years. The most recent test on 6 March 2025 at 104,753 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This streak of consecutive passes suggests the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle and addressed potential mechanical issues before they could escalate into test failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 7,500 miles annually. Between March 2021 at 94,119 miles and March 2025 at 104,753 miles, the car covered 10,634 miles, showing a steady usage rate of roughly 2,600 miles per year. This regularity helps mitigate the risk of damage associated with long periods of standing, while avoiding the excessive component wear found on high-mileage vehicles. While the history shows no recurring faults, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection focusing on common failure points for an Astra of this era. Examine the structural integrity of the rear sills and suspension mounting points, as these areas are prone to corrosion over time. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers for signs of per or tearing, as the MOT does not capture the gradual degradation of rubber components until they become a safety risk.
