2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · SN13 OAS

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-19 at 79,704 miles recorded a PASS, but an identical date also shows a FAIL with no defects noted. This inconsistency suggests a potential data entry error or duplicate submission, which complicates assessing the current roadworthiness. Previous tests from 2024 to 2022 showed consistent PASS results with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the preceding three years. However, the conflicting 2025 records introduce uncertainty about the vehicle’s current mechanical condition. The mileage of 79,704 miles aligns with the vehicle’s 13-year age, averaging 6,131 miles annually—a typical figure for this model. The MOT history reveals no significant gaps between tests, with annual or near-annual inspections from 2022 onward. The 2024 test at 70,381 miles and 2023 test at 67,974 miles show steady mileage progression, suggesting regular usage rather than prolonged inactivity. However, the lack of detailed defect reports in all tests limits insight into specific component wear or repairs. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of suspension wear, such as uneven tyre wear or excessive play in steering, as these are common in older models. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in MOT records is reassuring, but the conflicting 2025 results warrant verification of the actual test outcome. Checking the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, and confirming exhaust emissions compliance, would provide further clarity on the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
