2013 Vauxhall Antara 2.2L Diesel · SS08 TSS

The vehicle currently presents as a roadworthy asset with a stabilizing trend in maintenance quality. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 January 2025 at 70,248 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, marking a significant improvement over previous years where the vehicle failed its initial tests. This transition from repeated failures to a clean pass suggests that the mechanical issues identified in earlier tests were addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a high standard of upkeep. At 70,248 miles, the Antara shows remarkably low mileage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. The data indicates consistent usage patterns, with roughly 3,700 miles covered between February 2023 and February 2024, and another 3,300 miles between February 2024 and January 2025. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to age-related rubber perish degradation or brake corrosion due to longer periods of inactivity. While the recent history is clean, a buyer must perform a physical inspection to check for structural integrity common in older Vauxhall models. The previous failures in 2023 and 2024 indicate that specific components required immediate attention in the past, so the buyer should scrutinize the subframe mounting points for structural rust and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. Given the low mileage, ensure the brake calipers are not seized and that the tyres do not suffer from sidew cracking despite having sufficient tread depth.
