2013 Vauxhall Antara 2.2L Diesel · SY62 XTH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing wear-related defects. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 68,418 miles passed, the tester identified pitted and scored brake discs on both랴. This represents a progression from the clean records seen in 2024 and 2022, indicating that the braking system is reaching the end of its effective life despite the low annual mileage. At 68,418 miles, this 13-year-old Antara has averaged only approximately 5,263 miles per year. This low usage profile often suggests lighter mechanical stress but can also lead to accelerated surface corrosion on metal components from inactivity. The record shows consistent annual testing with roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles covered between intervals from 2022 to 2026. The lack of significant mileage spikes suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy commercial-duty use or recent long-term neglect. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry. The August 2023 test at 56,083 miles flagged worn bushes on both front lower suspension arms alongside uneven front tyre wear. While these were not noted in the subsequent 2024 pass, rubber components are prone to cracking as they age regardless of mileage. The buyer should check for play in the steering components and verify the alignment. Furthermore, the surface pitting on the rear brake discs noted in 2026 requires immediate replacement to ensure consistent stopping performance and to prevent premature wear of the new pads.
